Medical research is as any enterprise subject to legislation formulated to set a framework to allow
for cooperative undertakings for the general betterment of society and also in function to prevent
misuse. The medical research community has in its endeavors faced a particular challenge in
exploring medical components and their effect on the human body, that lend themselves easily to be
scrutinized for their profound qualities. It is hard to distinguish what substance could for their
stimulating or pain-relieving qualities potentially be seen as a danger and which as a benefit for the
society and the individual. Due to limited perspectives in the past and detrimental drug scares many
substances have been relegated to be too dangerous to be used in a practical or a beneficial manner
or even be researched broadly by the scientific community. Especially phyto-compounds are often
scrutinized since they are easy for layman to replicate and to handle without regulation.
Unfortunately, this often causes problematic conditions as a side-effect, as safety and quality
standards cannot be established in nontransparent circumstances.
