FDA Intends to Take Action Against Non-FDA-Approved GLP-1 Drugs

It is wild that it took until 2026 for this to happen.

In the late 1990s, when my friends wanted mushrooms or 5MEO-DMT, they'd order from "Poisonous Non-Consumables" catalogs. Today, people are literally doing that (same words, even!), but for the next iteration of GLP1 drugs not yet on the wider market. Compounding pharmacies are selling "research chemicals", like in Bitcoin Mining Profit Calculator: Gaiden.

People are getting retatrutide from random websites (not what’s being shut down here) not from compounding pharmacies.

Totally fair point. I'm just surprised how poorly regulated this stuff is.
