Yup, the FDA is for real on this one I think. That research shit just aint gonna fly no more with not for human consumption business. Hey, it eliminates the competition. Im telling ya there is a goldmine to be had and no, they arent going to bring codeine back lol.
Maybe. Once it's banned the FDA gets control so they can sell it. They did it with GHB and have already make some bank and stand to make more when Orphan Medical or other drug companies request INDs. DXM isn't as versitle or as G so there isn't as large a potential market. Also like Eringobraugh said the FDA might not have an easy case after its been used in OTC shit for decades. I doubt it's worth their (FDA) time but media and politics may have some fun with it.
