- thfuran 3y agoWell, they don't let you sell snake oil in their jurisdiction, so that's to be expected.
- PawgerZ 3y agoI wonder why
- mrguyorama 3y agoAll you have to do is sell your snake oil as a """supplement""" instead of a medicine and you evade basically all regulation. You can sell actual poison to actual children as a "homeopathic" remedy for teething in babies, as long as you say "all our health promises we make on the front of the bottle aren't backed by the FDA". Edit: Removed probably dumb and wrong rant about controlled pharmaceuticals
- jrockway 3y agoWhat is the actual poison that's used for a teething remedy?
- mrguyorama 3y agoBelladonna
- lIl-IIIl 3y agoIf the snake oil salesperson claims their product is used to treat or cure any disease, then it's absolutely under FDA jurisdiction.
- calamari4065 3y agoThat's funny, I was just having this same conversation yesterday from my local guy who sells mercury radium soda pop.
