The god damn FDA and its war on…
…checks notes…
Sunshine and Exercise!
Apparently now conservatism is just constantly relitigating every minor perceived slight.
For the most part, liberals have moved past the fact that these assholes held the country hostage and killed a million people throwing their tantrum.
Meanwhile, conservatives are like “we haven’t forgotten that you made fun of us for the horse dewormer thing.”
fucking morons are going to kill us all with raw stupidity
The FDA’s policies have faced significant criticism for jeopardizing consumer safety. For instance:
Drug Approval Issues: Fast-track approvals have introduced drugs with limited evidence of safety, such as Aduhelm for Alzheimer’s, which showed little benefit but posed risks. Harmful drugs are often slow to be withdrawn from the market.
Food Safety Loopholes: The GRAS designation allows companies to self-certify food additives without FDA oversight. Substances like potassium bromate, linked to cancer and banned internationally, remain in U.S. foods due to regulatory gaps.
Industry Influence: Close ties between FDA leaders and corporations raise concerns about conflicts of interest and impartiality in decision-making.
Weak Post-Market Oversight: The FDA lacks resources to monitor and act on safety issues after products are on the market, leaving harmful substances in circulation.
Some decision-makers should be held accountable for actions or policies that have negatively impacted public health and safety. A comprehensive overhaul of the food system is urgently needed to prioritize transparency, improve nutritional standards, and ensure consumer well-being.
Thanks chatgpt!
Yeah, that is unfortunate. A broken clock is right twice a day though.
Don’t give me hope RFK. Like you’re really gonna legalize psychedelics for therapy.
It would suck for the rubes who can be fooled into taking poison, but it would be kinda based if RFK just legalized everything. Reality might turn to shit, but at least we can get high however we want!
I wonder how hard it will be to tell the good stuff from the poison. Depending on just how unregulated they go, labels might not even match contents.
Probably easier than now considering the decrease in stigma and increased impetus for testing as well as elimination of the black market.
Can’t wait for the war on sunshine to end!
The solar panels are sucking all the energy from the sun and not allowing anyone else to use it.
This is unironically the excuse that my dad gives solar vendors when they badger him about putting solar on his roof. Is it a right wing meme? Please tell me it isn’t.
Ackchyually, I think you’ll find it’s Donald Trump sucking up all the sunlight and injecting it directly into people’s veins
Big Sun will get its day in the … eh sun.
He’s going to ban sunscreen isn’t he
I predict he will be unseated within a year
He won’t be confirmed
Hope you’re right
any weed for us peons!!!
Oh good they listed them all in one place so if a doctor references it I know to just get up and walk the fuck out.
It just absolutely sucks that psychedelics and marijuana are being wrapped up in this bullshit.
It’s a libertarian tactic, Matt Gaetz said weed should be legal and he’s from Florida. It’s a way to get people on board with deregulation
Yeah, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Oh no it’s the Sun everybody run inside -the FDA probably
As if! That would violate the proscription on exercise!
By that he means sunning his arsehole, of course. Great excuse for exposing yourself to minors.
Dumbfucks wanted this.
True story, I went to my doctor about losing some weight as I was close to getting diabetes. For some reason, my doctor loudly proclaimed “Here is a prescription for some meds” while handing me the prescription.
It wasn’t a prescription for meds. My doctor wrote “Due to Big Pharma and the FDA listening in, I have to prescribed various meds. You really should eat healthy diet that has a healthy amount of calories made up of vegetables and fruit. I needed get exercise and should spend time outside to help everything.”
Big Pharma is everywhere! /s
[…] psychedelics […]
I’m glad that it seems like the war on drugs is showing cracks. I completely support a move to legalize psychedelics.
A broken clock is right twice a day. A random number generator will also occasionally give you the right answer.
Plus, a bunch of conservatives will see the raw milk part and die from listeria. It’s a win-win!
but on the plus side, maybe the us can start getting some decent cheeses…
I live in Wisconsin. We have fine cheeses, I dont need it to have actual maggots in it.
That’s why it’s included and it’s the first item. To make the rest seem reasonable.
The carrot got dangled in front of the US population for decades and now it’s going to be handed out by the guy holding a knife in his other hand.
Yes, but it shouldn’t be legalized for the wrong reasons. We used to justify legalization using arguments about personal freedom for recreational use and pushing for more rigorous research into the therapeutic use cases. Now its popularity in the population is just used to push a pseudo-scientific and anti-science agenda.
Yes, but it shouldn’t be legalized for the wrong reasons.
This is kind of an interesting thought, imo. If one agrees with the resultant policy, does the rationale used to get there matter? Perhaps it does in principle, but I wonder if it matters in practice. The end result is the same.
I think the implications here is that the reasons it gets legalized can have an impact on the specifics of the policy. Which would mean that they wouldn’t agree with the policy beyond the legalization itself.

Could you elaborate on what you mean?
If the brain worms tell RFK Jr. That psychedelics are actually a cancer cure, then legislation could be put forth to legalize psychedelics. But rather than allowing recreational use, or using them for a medical purpose based on scientific fact such as use in conjunction with therapy to treat depression, it could be legalized as prescribed medication for cancer. This has the drawbacks of not allowing access to people that could actually benefit from it, as well as now being used as a snake oil cure for something completely unrelated that will prevent people from getting other more effective treatment.
It does not matter morally, but does rhetorically and politically. The result of neglecting the latter is your rhetoric can be abused, see OP
I mean there’s already quite some research with psychedelics showing positive results. Expecting RFK to act on facts and science is wishful thinking. We can just be thankful that his twisted mind aligns with science at least in this position.
Time to dust off the ol’ snake oil dancing shoes!!
