This raises many, many questions for me. Essentially, this is good news. However, we need to consider “what next” for long time users. We also need to ensure end of life pain patients (such ass cancer patients with very little time left) still have access to medication.

I also fear this will lead to more addicts turning to illegal drugs such as heroine (potentially laced with fentanyl).

A clear plan on how to wean patients, and deal with the follow out is a must!
