They use it for everything. It’s useful for pain, withdrawal, anxiety and a number of other weird things. Humans, cats, dogs. Shit’s like a cartoon health pack that fixes anything.

They gave it to me for anxiety and it made me feel like I was dying, so clearly doesn’t work for everyone.

Yeah, but you were probably too worried about death to be worried about school, work, relationships, trauma, or whatever else was on your mind. So, technically, it kind of worked.
