They are responsible for reviewing data about medications to determine if they should be approved for sale in the U.S., where they can be used legally, and whether or not there are possible risks involved with their use. FDA approval is required before a drug can be legally sold, and it is required for products that are marketed as "new-drugs", which means they haven't been on the market before. That's not to say that companies aren't allowed to sell unapproved drugs. They can still do so, as long as those new drugs are described as "off-label" uses, or uses for which they haven't received FDA approval. Those new drugs can be used anyway by patients who have a prescription for them from their appropriate healthcare professionals, such as their doctors or pharmacists. With that said, the FDA requires that manufacturers of new drugs report safety data on any safety risks that are serious enough to be listed as adverse events. If there is a serious risk that occurs with a medication, it's important to know about it. By law, companies are required to report those possible safety risks within 30 days of them learning about them by either developing their own safety data or getting their hands on data from other companies. The "serious risk" must be related to the product's intended use for patients who have followed directions for use. Most often, there are no potential safety risks associated with pharmaceuticals, even if they're being used off-label by patients or in ways not recommended by doctors. Inexperienced patients sometimes have a hard time understanding that there may be negative consequences from their use of a prescription medication, so it's helpful to provide them with information about any real risks associated with the medication in order to reduce the chance of problems. That's because in many cases, doctors do not always tell patients about problems associated with a pharmaceutical for a variety of reasons. Although the risks from medications are minimal, they're still something to be considered if you're using them. Seek out accurate information from your doctor for more details on possible safety risks and legal consequences that might occur from taking medications that aren't FDA-approved. http://www.fda. gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm432340.htm# http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm433544.htm Should I carry my medical marijuana card with me, or can it be sent to me later? If you are a qualifying patient, you are required to carry your card with you. If you live in a state where dispensaries are regulated by the MMJ program, your card will likely be your only way of accessing the medicine itself, but it will also show that you have a legal right to possess it. cfa1e77820
