So I guess it would be hard to have a doctor prescribe etorphine. Can cancer pain be treated with a Schedule I drug? I know cocaine can be used for topical ophthalmic indications, but it is only Schedule II.> It is mainly used as a tranquiliser for large animals, such as elephants.
It's a good thing that my memory sucks, and I therefore can't be mistaken for an elephant.
Still, I would like to have my hippocampus (the college grounds for waterhorses) (Boo) to demonstrate that neurotrophic plasticity that it is so famous for. My memory is unequivocally improving, but I would say that it is the last thing to recover upon the process of attaining remission. My worst symptom of memory impairment remains the almost total inability to remember conversations.
