JimBob Looks like you are wiseing up to the drug cartels. The bin is the best place for many of those drugs. They killed my father and May also have killed my wife's mother. She took so many pills she rattled as she walked. We took two shopping bags full of dangerous drugs back to the pharma who dilligently supplied her better than any street drug dealer could have. Metformin killed my dad! Nearly killed my friend in Brixham and definately aided the demise of my Wifes mum.
Does anybody know if there is a list of drugs that have been passed by the FDA due to this fraud? I would really like to know what drugs specifically have been subject to this so that I can make sure family/friends and myself aren't taking them.
HM Government does the same thing - employ Scientists to advise you and then choose the answer you wanted in the first place This is driven by money in the same way.

The U.S. sometimes seem to be as bad as some South American governments in corruption and abuse. It isn't that bad I know, but perceptions are leading in that direction.
The FDA is rife with corruption and represents the interests of drug companies.Most of the staff in the FDA get promised lucrative positions with the drug companies when they leave provided theytow the line of the drug companies.Does anybody know if there is a list of drugs that have been passed by the FDA due to this fraud?

The FDA has recently had a news conference saying they were so underfunded that they had to depend on the companies in most cases. Some drug companies, perhaps all, have taken advantage of this oversight inability.
What needs be done is the waste in our government cut (as well as a foreign policy overhaul - read Iraq here) and if needed, for our taxes to be raised in order for our government to do what we pay for it to do.

Drug companies had been criticized even by distinguished scientists like Barry Marshall (another Marshall), interviewed for his 2005 Nobel Prize (Physiol. and Med.):Quote...
"The excitement for the drug companies is not there, because the drug companies were making so much money out of ulcer treatments, and if you analyse the pharmaceutical industry, you’ll see that the pharmaceutical giants are interested in treatments, which go on and on for years: like blood pressure, cholesterol, and that’s why these are the very big money makers for the drug companies.They don’t make much money out of a cure, because you can only take it once."http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/medicine/laureates/2005/marshall-docu.html(https://www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.australianoftheyear.gov.au%2Fpages%2Fimages%2FWA%2520Prof%2520Barry%2520Marshall%2520%26amp%3B%2520Prof%2520Robin%2520Warren%2520AOTY%2520%282%29.jpg&hash=64f374f9ccbf6d2967eb383749b14cff)

When you are addicted to drugs you don't even have to remember when you need them your dealer remembers for you!
How many more sales would the dealer make if he had the blessing of the governments who take their cut out of the profits and allow you to advertise in all of the media outlets?
How many more sales would the dealer make if he had qualified doctors in white coats handing out dangerous drugs with known serious side effects, who again take their cut?
Would his business take off it became no only legalised but had outlets in every town in the country and even allowed you to get your fix online?
Well..... this is the position that the drug companies have created for themselves! They not only manufacture, patent and control the drugs, they falsify their validity and push them down the throats and inject them into the arms of people who would never consider themselves as being a drug dealers user!
Marijuana vending machines in US
(https://www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fgizmodo.com%2Fassets%2Fresources%2F2008%2F01%2Fweedatm.jpg&hash=3f1a8f2487e5f7192ca26e9fd829d5e8)
Eleven US states allow medical marijuana on doctors' orders
Vending machines distributing the drug marijuana are to begin operating in the US state of California.
The machines can only be used by people who have been prescribed the drug for health reasons.
Patients will have to provide a prescription, and be fingerprinted and photographed before being allowed to use the facilities.
Eleven US states allow the medicinal use of marijuana, primarily for pain relief, but it remains controversial.
Vince Mehdizadeh, owner of the Herbal Nutrition Centre in Los Angeles, where one of the two first machines is based, said it would allow patients to buy extra supplies whenever needed.
Series of checks
Once the users have been photographed, fingerprinted and have shown their prescription, they will be issued with a card which can be used in the machines, he told KWTX News 10 in the US.
"They'll be greeted by a security guard right there. They'll slide the card in and they'll fingerprint in to verify that it's them," he was quoted by KWTX News 10 as saying.
"A camera takes a picture of them, verifying that they're actually at the machine. And they get the medicine and they move on."
The operators think that vending machines issuing prescription drugs could become a common sight in the US.
Proponents say marijauna is a valuable tool for relieving pain and stimulating appetite in the sick.
However, it remains banned by the 1970 Controlled Substances Act and the US federal government does not currently recognise any legitimate medical use.
