All Orphan Medical has done is submit an application to the FDA for approval, which contains the results of clininical trials. Actual approval is at least 6 months away, probably closer to a year.

Even antidepressants is use for years around world with lots of positive results and studies are more and more delayed approval by the FDA wanting yet another controlled study. Add "abuse potential" and tail between the legs factor of approving what they adamently villianized, and you have a don't hold your breath scenerio. The FDA/DEA so doesn't want to embarass itself, that you see the current touchy medical marijuana quandry with states fighting the feds and trying to figure out a way to supply (mostly) cancer patients with the only drug that lets them keep food down so they don't whither away and die.
It doesn't matter how good GHB or anabolic steroids are when properly used. No fed wants to admit they were wrong and they just had these causes to get votes.
