Can you still get codeine cough syrup just by signing for it without a prescription? Terpin hydrate with codeine used to be the best stuff for clearing out my lungs when a cold really took hold, but they took terpin hydrate off the market because there was no proof that it worked (BS, the stuff worked but no one wanted to fund a hundred million of dollars of testing for a chemical that was a couple bucks a bottle instead of fifty for a prescription).
The FDA is a growing concern - they want control over consumer cold remedies, and they want the ability to regulate the sale of genetic test kits which allow consumers to get early warning of conditions like heart disease and Alzheimer’s. The arrogance and over-reach of this bureaucracy are getting completely out of hand. They need to be checked.
Here’s an idea: Abolish the FDA.
You might like that idea unless, of course, you think that you are so stupid and such a danger to yourself that you will just start buying repackaged whiskey as a cure for cancer without a government nanny to protect you.
btt
we heard about the cough syrup today on the radio and it’s abuse. Well, if it is abused then it is abused but not by those using it for colds and treatment. I’ve seen people toss their head back and take a swig or so. We take it with a spoon as directed and...we don’t take it longer than the recommended 4-6 hour period.
Common sense folks...common sense.
Maybe they are the same people who think the world would be better off if the human population was reduced below 1 billion (better off for the animals, that is)...
