Isn't the FDA part of the War on Drugs?
'Legal' drugs seem to be responsible for quite a large percentage of drug related deaths. Even when they are substances approved by the FDA.

I'm still amazed that after hundreds of years of nicotine consumption, they only decided it was dangerous over the last few years. Not half as dangerous as exhaust fumes - but we 'need' cars. Well petrol companies do. D...
