New research shows that there could possibly a new form of medication designed to relieve pain. One of the perks of this pill is the fact that it wont be addicting. The person responsible for this creation is Susan Ingram, Ph. D, and she is an associate for neurology at OHSU. Though this form of medication hasn't truly been made yet, it is expected in the very near future.

My Opinion
I believe that the article was informative. It could be a great invention due to the fact that they could begin banning any addictive drugs. I fully on board with the fact of a non- addictive pain killer. I know for a fact that I will be taking this new drug once it is released.
