I am certain that the FDA, with its ban on certain substances, has caused more deaths and misery than it has ever prevented. Not to mention financial losses.

Before you ask accusory questions, why not refine your own position and brush off the smugness?

You aren't actually certain. You think you're certain, based on...nothing. There's a difference.

Examples then? Are are you speaking only in unverifiable "if only" hypotheticals?

Uhh... Pretty much the entire war on drugs? I am surprised you even had to ask. There is much more though, as you can find in this comment, for example:

You need to get your facts straight. The FDA has had zero (0.0000) role in the War on Drugs.

Are you sure you're not confusing the FDA with the DEA?
