It's great news for all those who will find some relief from constant painful conditions. But let's not stop there; let's expand the concept to include hard drugs and stop the evil and widespread drug dealing that kills people and all the associated crime it creates. By doing this, drug dealers would be out of business overnight and it would stop the deaths caused by poisonous cocktails of unknown purity levels of hard drugs.
