What it really should say is " Illegal drug free". Most everyone is on some kind of drug. Mostly so called legal drugs because of some illness or disease. So, as long as it is manufactured by big pharma then its legal. Otherwise illegal. Yeah right. Only they can make money.

'Big pharma' are the biggest dope slingers in the world, many of their products are synthesized versions of 'illegal narcotics' or chemicals found in illegal narcotics.
Like delta-9-tetrahydrocannabino(THC) found in marijuana and it's legal pharmaceutical version called Dronabinol or Marinol(a registered trademark of Solvay Pharmaceuticals) that is used in the treatment of AIDS-related loss of appetite and weight loss and severe nausea and vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapy, among other things.
It's side affects are pretty much the same as with smoking a blunt rolled of natural marijuana, only the synthetic version is more powerful and more addictive and potentially much more dangerous. And thus it is legal...
Then of course we have the opium poppy, or 'Papaver somniferum' in medical/scientific circles, which is the primary source of the analgesic opiate alkaloids, morphine and codeine.
The list goes on and on...plants can't be patented and thus must be illegal, synthetic versions of those plants can be patented and thus billions of dollars can be made by selling them and thus pharmaceutical companies rake in billions every year through sales of 'illegal narcotics' in a legal form.
That's not even going into the whole 'marketing illness' thing where every tiny issue has an expensive and potentially dangerous pharmaceutical 'cure'...
