        THAT's the JOB of a Drug REP! ASK the PP Drug Rep what his ANNUAL INCOME was during the time that he "REP'd." HOW MUCH of that was DONATED to Addiction Crisis Centers? WHO paid for their car; their watch; their suits; their entertainment/expense account? NO one "forced" that!pic.twitter.com/6hBe9qU7MO

        aren't they paid to "market" all drugs, regardless of their notoriety. Society pushes pressures, but wonders why it's addicted to pressures...

        Ibuprofen and ice or heat are a better alternative.
