it's about fda's fault? >> there are standards enforced by the fda in most parts of the development. after druggist discovered companies have to figure out whether it's worth investing in so they do studies to see whether they think is going to work before they put it in to people. that's a good business decision. that's not driven by the fda but there are also toxicology studies that have to be done in animals to make sure it's safe enough to put into those first human volunteers. there are few people and view either be's who say that you shouldn't do that actually if you are going to be one of those volunteers. we have a very good record of many thousands of commercial i ind's that are very safe. there are side effects that they can be managed and so that's phase. the clinical phase is the most expensive and that is where the most arguments are. it costs a lot per patient in the united states to do this and those studies are done to meet the fda's standards to ensure a statutorily embodied to show the drug

she reports on the fda. you write a story the fda is now turning its attention to something called e-cigarettes. first of all, what is an e-cigarette. >> well, a lot of them can look like a cigarette, so it kind of mill mimics smoking in a way. there's not the tobacco inside of it. it's going to heat up a nicotine vapor. it still has the addictive substance in it, the nicotine. but what else is in there isn't exactly uniform across the industry. but there's a va p vapor that i heats up. >> so it works in the sense that someone would draw in the stuff and the vapor comes through like a more normal cigarette. >> exactly. >> as far as the liquids, is nicotine in the liquid? you said nobody knows for sure what else is in the liquid. is it because it's a trade secret? >> some have reported what exactly is in there. some have decided not to. but the fda has proposed they need to give them all of their ingredients. but for sure nicotine is in most of them at different levels. since it's derived from tobacco, that's

. >> talk about the fda. the fda approved a painkiller that is 10 times more powerful than vicodin.e asked our community: will this increase prescription abuse? how could it not? i don't see the use for making a drug that strong. what were they thinking? every doctor, every nurse, every pharmacist, every tech i know is very worried every single one dr. sammy may, let's talk about the fda's rule on this. this is 10 times more powerful. it will actually increase drug abuse in this country? >> i think there is no doubt. every pain expert in the country is up in arms over this. to approve a drug that can be tampered with. when there there are other drugs on the market that do the same thing that are more difficult to abuse. so there is a lot of pushback over this approval. the fda's role in this unfortunately has been a negative one. the fda has been asleep at the wheel since this began about 10 or 15 years. more and more potent drugs without requiring long-term studies. once the drugs are approved, the companies make their money and they reduce a study 10 years after approval. tens of

i e-mailed some colleagues at the fda recently. i said interesting, fda is not coming up at all. what's coming up is the specter of not having products be reimbursed and so i think that's one that everybody can sort of lean and collectively and start talking about this value equation. >> so to further comment on the economic realities, one of my responsibilities is to balance the budget for the medical school. while we get in 460 million in external funding last year, for each dollar that comes in, we spent about 25 cents and were very efficient in extra dollars that had to support the research enterprise. that's to mr. barton's point, the importance of cms. because where those dollars come from for most academic medical centers where there's a mission, not an option to invest other places, but it's the mission to do research and education. those dollars primarily come from clinical revenues. a little bit from philanthropy but you do the math, it's huge endowments that would be required to make up that gap. and that's why the decisions on funding that are made from cms, which dri

fda would not regulate an illegal industry. cannot be standards for something that is not supposed to exist. marijuana is coming up a lot more. there are some places that legalized it medically or for recreational use. the issue with that is the research on whether it works for medical uses are not is done through a different organization, the national institution on drug abuse mostly. the fda is not as involved in the research to figure out whether it works for something. they would get involved on approving the clinical trials as well as if someone tried to make a description. host: we will focus on colorado's experience with recreational marijuana on friday. kevin from indiana, e-cigarette user. caller: how are you guys doing? i wanted to talk about the marketing to children thing with the flavors and stuff. i have been using e-cigarettes for a few months now. i love the sweet flavors and the fruity flavors. i have been into about four or five different shops where they sell the e-cigarettes in the flavors and the juices. th
