What a weird site.
PR releases b/w standard blog fare and meta numbers discussion?
There’s a lot of snark, but the idea is this only inhibits pain in the peripheries, so it isn’t so psychoactively impacting. You don’t get sedated, the addiction profile is way less, and the LD50 means OD’ing is much harder. 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:

You mean they’re just going to force utterly crippled and suffering people to work instead of taking some time to heal in a hospital…
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.

Not everywhere is the US.
For a moment I thought there was a drug called Recreationol. It sounded like a hell of a party.
I’d take it for sure
Aspirin has entered chat.
Hopefully it’s not addictive, so maybe - just fucking maybe - people actually in pain can get it without jumping through a million hoops and being treated like drug-addicted criminals.
That’d be… neat.
I will bite. How much? Unless its cheaper than opiates, No one is going to put their profit margin above the common good of society.
shrugs in stoner
so what, are normal pain relief pills opioids? or do they just not count as pain relief somehow?
