They will love anything that will keep us working. They will try to figure out a way to downplay the fact that it is made from cannabis, but they love medical advances that keep us in the trenches.

My question is, as always, is the motivation for making this the ability to help control pain, or what I was saying, in that they just want to make sure we will work ourselves to death before we realize it?

(This is a somewhat rhetorical question...)
