Because the government is being lobbied by big special interest pill groups who don't want regulation. Take it from someone who knows, my mother is a pharmicutical representive (misspelled it I know), basically she sells all those nice drugs that are normally 10x worse than weed to companies and hospitals. She tells me herself that her company can basically sell anything, and that the price mark up is ussually 500% or above normal price.

As someone else said, special interests - the pharmaceutical industry is a multi-trillion dollar industry. A better question is why there even is an FDA. It's existence seems a stretch of the constitution (not listed as a power of the federal government, so is reserved for the states or the people), doesn't seem necessary, causes more harm than good, and is a violation of states' rights to legislate and regulate themselves. Another good question is why they allow drugs with often dangerous side effects and cause serious health problems, all the while threatening cherry farmers that want to promote the health benefits of eating cherries on their website by listing cherries' drug-like properties in helping with heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, to name a few. Or why they push to regulate vitamins, herbs, and minerals that have been shown to be safe in disgustingly, unrealistically high doses in humans and nonhuman models. Of course, the answer is the same as above - pharmaceutical companies can't patent Vitamin C or cherries, so these need to be controlled.
