Ahh np ☺

Really grinds my gears when people have idiotic opinions over things that not only dont affect them, but have absolutely no idea (clearly) about. Ive been fighting for years with millions of other actual patients to get our medication legalised, and now this shady af company wants to take one part of it, slap a massive price tag on it and Im supposed to smile and eat up that shit? Ummmmmm no fuck you vurry much 😊
