Back in the "dark ages" prescription drugs were never marketed to the public, but rather just to the providers.

Big pharma is probably glad that prohibition is over, but I don't think the public is better served by "ask your doctor" commercials.

I don't think it is a first amendment issue either or we would see cigarette commercials again.

I agree 100%. If big PHARMA can do advertising and commercials even though it takes a speed talker 30 seconds to name the side effects of their drugs, then so should big tobacco whose only side effect is you will die.

Removing big money from politics is the only chance we average schmucks have of saving our country from corrupt politicos, and from elites that are much worse than many other so called corrupt countries.
