It's all about the Mighty Dollar with the FDA. Funny they will spend millions to look for people growing Pot in the privacy of there own home.... Not that there are real crimes out there they could put there money into fighting

It's not just the FDA, although federal regulations do set the requirements, but they don't charge a half million bucks for drug approval. It just costs that much or more to do the R&D for approval. For the gooberment it's more about control than money. They can get plenty of money right out of the general fund.
