The FDA regulations are there for a reason. Bad drugs kill people. If your idea is to allow unregulated drug sales is implemented, some people will die for no good reason.
Are you aware of just how often that happens
right now,
with FDA regulations?
The recalls on the list are generally Class I., which means there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
We've actually reached the point where prescription drugs kill more people than prohibited ones!

at the very least questionable that pharmaceutical development requires patents, so please stop using that claim to defend the concept.
You can't simply assert that. There is nothing to stop companies making drugs and foregoing patents right now. Feel free to point me to them - otherwise lets limit ourselves to the real world.
