A red button. Image says: ‘Would you press the button?’ [results of pressing the button:] there exists a pill that makes your disability a LOT less debilitating BUT it’s near-impossible to get because the non-disabled enjoy taking the pill for fun and the government doesn’t want them to.

    … “and the government doesn’t want them to”?
    The last part kinda doesn’t make a lot of sense.

    If the government doesn’t want the non-disabled to enjoy taking that for fun, how does that contribute to the problem? It could have made sense if it said “even though” instead of “and”, but the way it is, it’s just confusing.

      Non disabled people enjoying the drug, isn’t what makes the drug hard to get. The drug is hard to get because the government tries to keep it away from people.

            Right now it’s heavily regulated for medical use. Since drug dealers like to put fent in drugs, so when someone overdoses, they think it’s strong stuff. Innocent users who buy it for medical uses will die, since others will use fent anyway.

            Ok, maybe I’m too cynical, and it will be fine. But I did see the world descend into hell, of course I do.

              It could still be heavily regulated if they sold it to everybody. You’d only have to worry if you were buying it on the black market, but that’s true in any case.

      I looked at it like marijuana. Government doesnt want you to use it so its hard to get even though it can help with chronic pain and nausea and depression.
