They keep coming out with threats to ban flavors, ban online sales, etc., etc., etc, because of the children.
Opioids are a major crisis in the US! Lets take them away from the terminally ill, those with chronic pain that can't otherwise be helped, etc. We need to stop this epidemic now!
So the FDA just approved an new one that some articles say is 10 times stronger than fentanyl. Gottlieb gives it a
. Guess the pills don't come in gummy bear flavors.
We all know there is a lot wrong with the FDA, here's proof for the masses. Among the other tidbit in there:
The October meeting also left out most members of another FDA committee — the Drug Safety and Risk Management Advisory Committee — who are often included in regulatory discussions of new opioid drugs. Public Citizen says members of that committee were not invited to attend.
In an email, an FDA spokesman wrote that drug safety committee members "could not attend due to scheduling conflicts."
"That's not the full story," Brown says.
On Wednesday, ahead of the FDA's final decision, four U.S. senators — Ed Markey, Claire McCaskill, Joe Manchin and Richard Blumenthal — sent a letter to Gottlieb, the FDA's commissioner, echoing concerns from Brown and Public Citizen and asking the agency to deny approval to Dsuvia until Brown and the full drug safety committee were allowed to participate.
Ultimately, the FDA approved the drug anyway.
"There should never again be a meeting on opioids that doesn't include drug safety," says Wolfe. "The FDA really screwed up."

Yeah, clearly a misused pharmaceutical that kills quickly is nowhere near as harmful as one that doesn't kill you but potentially extends your life.
Follow the money.
