Thalidomide was a well known scandal, but the idea that skin contact with a pill is teratogenic is new to me. That suggests, chillingly, that a terrorist could use a similar mechanism to poison a crowd that hadn’t even been exposed to enough stuff to know it had been poisoned.

And why would male users of the medicine have to be warned on the record never to use it if pregnancy was possible... that is stupid.

It can’t cost that much to produce the medicine. It has to be a liability issue where the insurance is a thousand times more costlier than the chemical.

signs must be posted in the home of anyone taking Thalidomide.

Each order requires a recorded telephone conversation and clearance from the drug company before the pharmacy is allowed to release the order.

Yes, it is very dangerous.

My point, of course, is that pot is not as dangerous.

It's not the man that needs to worry about it, it's his partner. The drug is secreted in seminal fluid.
