Assumption of Risk, huh?

Prescription Drugs in the Oceana's Law for the Layperson series by Margaret C. Jasper

Assumption of Risk - the legal doctrine that a plaintiff may not recover for an injury to which he assents.

That's what was being pushed with the replay of Tom Cruise dancing around in his movie Risky Business, huh? Well, its not reasonable to assume weed would be laced with rat poison, is it? Plus, as I said before, being brainwashed and coerced for my entire life should remove this restriction completely.

What's Medical Monitoring?
It sounds as bad as:
Post-Marketing Surveillance - the FDA's ongoing safety monitoring of market drugs.

the book says:
Medical Monitoring
is a unique developing remedy often sought by class members in pharmaceutical class actions. Medical monitoring refers to the cost of future testing and surveillance of plaintiffs who have no current injury, but who may be at an increased risk of developing a future injury from the use of defendant's drug product. Medical monitoring represents a departure from ordinary tort claims in which a plaintiff is required to prove that they have sustained a present compensable injury.

Total BS is all it sounds like. It sounds like a defense for spying on innocent Americans and there's too much abuse for that.
