It is illegal to purchase drugs that are not approved by the FDA.
As for cross use drugs. Doctors have patients that have more than one condition. One of which they do not have medication for, or they drug they are taking is less than effective. Prescribed a new med for a different condition that presents efficatious treatmet for the previous condition is of no value to the FDA. Said drug must go through the ENTIRE approval process. As to people dying. People with terminal conditions are being prevented from attempting meds or treatments that have been shown effective for their condition. They are prevented, especially in the treatment arena (because there is a doctor involved, mostly) because the med or treatment is not approved. No consideration that these people, dying, freely choose to accept the chance of relief. The ultimate case of you are too stupid to decide for yourself!

You have done nothing to address this point in your statement, rather you continue to claim the FDA is condemning people to death.

As for 1st condition vs 2nd condition:
(i) There needs to be evidence the drug actually works for condition 2.
(ii) There needs to be consideration of side effects and severity of condition. A drug that sometimes causes death might be acceptable for treating a terminal form of cancer, but if the manufacturer also wants to use it to treat headaches that might raise alarm bells.
