If we can get on a path that is a Federal path, where it’s legal, I also can see a world where Medicaid pays for this, where Medicare pays for this, where insurance companies pay for this, in a way that makes it viable for many more people, is my hope.

Eric: Well, I also just want to say one more last thing about buprenorphine and I know we’re out of time, but one of my favorite dementia articles was a stepwise pain protocol for individuals with dementia.
