Same concept as selling dope, if you try to charge some astronomical price even for the best shit you are going to have very few takers (only the docs can't enjoy their own product)(In no way am I insinuating that I or anyone else do or should sell chronic). How do you think those advanced life saving measures were developed? Somebody got paid, and thou generally altruistic Dr's usually like to get paid for the work they did, just like everyone else. Now hospitals and such aren't going to like my idea, as it will for sure cut into their bottom line, and like you said it should be about the patient not the profit.'
