    • great, just what we need, even more consolidation in the pharmaceutical industry. This way they can leverage even less restrictions by the FDA to get even more abuse and habit forming drugs on the market and pay even higher returns to doctors to prescribe even more medication for less and less illnesses.

      Remind me again why marijuana is illegal?

    • The consolidation of the pharmaceutical industry will only leave us at the mercy of Big Pharma & their agenda of selling as many pills as possible whether they cure you or are even necessary.

      This perpetuates an unbalanced & single-minded allopathic medical system, pushing homeopathic care further away from the people who could benefit the most.
