10. Potential Criticism…
The organization typically views products politically rather than an economic or safety standpoint
They tend favor larger corporations over the smaller
Also, there is a lot of existing debate within the FDA regarding untested illegal drugs
People in the United States in dire situation especially with low survival rates of cancer often find little help with the drugs that are 100% safe
With this in mind, people are desperate for a solution to their illness even if it mean death because it was already the enviable
Also with other illegal drugs, most of the studies they view are typically from years ago, which often misconstrues the decision that is made
