The end result of govt meddling will be, among other things, more pain and suffering for innocent people, especially people who are in physical pain.
You got it.
Globalists know: control people's pain, and you control those people. And for the elderly, chronic pain can be so bad that death would be a preferable alternative, which would fit in with New World Order plans nicely.
To reiterate your point: to combat this issue (some might cynically say to employ gov drug bureaucrats who have less to do since marijuana viewpoints have changed), they punish the people, especially the elderly, who most need this treatment. A doctor has to choose between risking his career and medical license and using his unique, trained professional knowledge to treat genuine chronic pain in old people? Logic and human nature answers that question: you're going to save yourself and your family and your income. Who can blame them.
