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:

For a moment I thought there was a drug called Recreationol. It sounded like a hell of a party.
allowing people impacted by chronic pain to re-enter the work force
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...
No, lots of people out there years out from an accident or injury can't work and it leads to the opioid addiction cycle; having an option to control the pain and get people able to either work or do hobbies again, or do things with their families, would be huge.
Nowhere in their comment did they even come close to implying what you’re suggesting. There are many folk who’d love to go back to doing the things they love, which includes actual work, but can’t, because the hospital did all they could and sent them on their way to deal with crippling pain on their own. This might let those people go back to doing what they love to do.
Stop making shit up.
In what dictionary is allowing a synonym for forcing???
Not everywhere is the US.
There are multiple conditions that cause pain for no apparent physiological reason.
This. What is a hospital visit going to do about chronic migraines?
