And could that include cannabis?

It doesn't really matter what people come in with,
就是無論是誰，
if they're the right age, they've got general pain or psychological problems.
如果他們在合理年齡，并且遭受病痛，或者有心理問題。
The answer from Dr. Frankel's point of view is cannabis.

Yes, I mean, if I were a cardiologist and patients were coming into me, they'd leave with cardiology medications.

而我是個大麻藥學家，病人來找我，是因為他們試過很多的藥物但都不起作用，
the likelihood is they'll leave with a cannabis recommendation.
那么他們就很可能得到一張使用大麻的推薦書。
