Those guys are in constant pain of varying degrees. They get hooked on opiods to add to their troubles.
There are many who refuse to believe it helps. "Well I never got hooked" or "They just want to get high." They need to STFU. It's much less dangerous than opiods and alcohol.
AND yes, it should be okayed for the general public for pain relief.
