why is it so hard to develop an analgesic that isn’t opiate-based?
In: Chemistry
I think what the OP wants to know is, since physical pain is our number one fear, and the number one cause of human unhappiness, why aren’t the world’s wealthy nations sponsoring moon-shot scale initiatives to speed up the discovery of new pain killing compounds? Why isn’t the discovery of safe pain killers our civilization’s primary mission right now? The discovery of safe, long lasting, multi-use pain killers would be the greatest and most profitable invention of all time.
