just how it is that others should decide for us what toxins we decide to ingest?

Are you in favor of removing all restrictions concerning all drugs? Nothing illegal and no prescriptions required? Remove all FDA certifications?

easy there - wipe that foam from around your mouth and take a breath.

First point to me where in the Constitution the feds have the right to dictate what we ingest?

If we needed a Constitutional amendment to ban alcohol where is the amendment that bans all the other stuff?

To your question - no I do not believe in removing all restrictions.

FDA like all other fed agencies should be advisory with few regulatory powers. In this age of readily-available information and super expensive healthcare we are being financially compelled into a self-education and self-treatment situation. Take note of the expanding international pharmacy commerce. But its going to be more of a caveat emptor situation where you better know what you are doing before self-treatment as you will be responsible for the damages. The FDA should certainly issue guidances and standards and be vigilant in monitoring and reporting on products and manufacturers. But their expansive regulatory tentacles know no bounds and are as damaging as they are benfiting the public interest.

In the meantime there is a growing public disdain for our coercive Federales and their Reefer Madness mentality. In November Florida has medical pot on the ballet - lets see where that goes.
