In this case the FDA is actually doing their job. Their job is to keep people from misusing one of their regulated products. What needs to be said is there is nothing wrong with using drugs recreationally. DXM needs to be regulated in the way alcohol and tobacco are.
Regulation of course. What about the individuals who do take it for recreational purposes and do it rationally and responsibily? Punish them of course too. Right?


With every choice we make, we literally create a world. History branches in two - creating one Earth where we made the choice and a second where we didn't. That's the secret of the universe you know? Billions of people, making billions of choices, creating infinite Earths. - Owlman
