Well…there is state sponsorship, via the NIH. https://www.nccih.nih.gov/nih-pain-research-center/research-projects https://www.nccih.nih.gov/nih-pain-research-center/research-... “Pain” is almost never the disease. (OK, maybe CRPS.) There’s a lot of things that cause pain, almost self-evidently, so it’s not one particular thing to attack, unlike a virus. (Also we are at 36 states now with medical marijuana, so I think the “pharma wants to block this” ship has sailed, especially when you consider big-hitters like California and New York have full recreational marijuana now.)
