1996, IIRC - oils weren't even an option back then. Some patients need immediate relief, and there is a danger when dealing with preventative substances being used for relief from symptoms when that relief can take anywhere from an hour to 2 to kick in.

Legislators need to quit pretending to be doctors. This bill is horseshit.
