Guest guest Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 While many companies claim their products are sold only to licensed px and thus exempt from the FDA ban, I can purchase just about any so-called professional product on the internet w/o identifying myself as a professional. Because there is really no way to control this, I seriously doubt the FDA will allow sale of ma huang products on the promise that they will never fall into consumer hands w/o a rx. Since dietary supplements are legal and since these products are dietary supplements, anyone can sell the legal ones and NO ONE can sell the illegal ones. So if someone gets their hands on ma huang tang, they have as much right to sell it under the law as you do. There is just currently no legal way to separate my sale of ding chuan tang from that in the local hippy coop. good faith is not enough here. gigantic loopholes that Arnie could drive his hummer through will not suffice for the feds.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 If the FDA decides to crack down on suppliers, then it will be up to the suppliers to show that they are selling to licensed practitioners. But licensed professionals have license numbers which is a way of tracking identification, so there is a system in place for companies to create a paper trail or interface with state or national databases. > While many companies claim their products are sold only to licensed px > and thus exempt from the FDA ban, I can purchase just about any > so-called professional product on the internet w/o identifying myself > as a professional.
