I’m sure there’s dependency potential, but it seems this is NOT recreational, which is huge, and if the sedation is less and you can take this and still function, it could be a game changer, allowing people impacted by chronic pain to re-enter the work force and have a better quality of life:

There are multiple conditions that cause pain for no apparent physiological reason.
This. What is a hospital visit going to do about chronic migraines?
Tbf, I don’t think this new drug would do anything about them either, considering it only blocks periferal pain.
In what dictionary is allowing a synonym for forcing???
In America.
Yes yes, we get it. Everything is bad and nothing can be good.
the irony is that you yourself are doing the thing you’re complaining about, just in reverse
yes yes, we get it. Bad things don’t exist and good things can only be good.
