Instead of linking I decided to post the form itself:
It has come to my attention that a bill (HR 207) has been introduced that aims to classify a wide variety of nutritional supplements as controlled substances. As a consumer of nutritional supplement products, I am gravely concerned about the consequences of this bill.
This bill represents an abuse of the legislative system, and a blatant misuse of the controlled substance act. How can the government vote to overnight make criminal the possession of substances which have been used safely for years by millions of people? How can the government agree to allow the attorney general to classify compounds as controlled substances without determining the existence of any appropriate toxicological or pharmacological activity? Was the controlled substance act enacted with the intention that it may be used as a political tool?
If the government believes nutritional supplements such as androstenedione and DHEA are unsafe and wishes to restrict access to them, then let it do so through already established and legitimate means. Let the government produce the evidence that these substances are a risk to individuals and society, or that they meet the legal/scientific qualifications to be listed as controlled substances. Then, and only then, may the government be allowed to act.
If this bill is passed it will directly affect the freedoms and lives of millions of consumers, including mature individuals that use DHEA and androstenedione for anti-aging / life-extension purposes. If this bill is passed then there will assuredly be a massive backlash come re-election time.
