You do have a couple more minutes, but I want to get something here.

As you know, we'll be issuing a report on the study we're doing. Just so I understand this correctly, although we've seen this explosion in the use and quantity of medical marijuana, we have anecdotal evidence that the use of other pain relief, other medication, has diminished. That's all anecdotal.

There is no evidence, as far as data are concerned, that says, yes, the number of medications has diminished, the number of those using these medications has diminished and so has the cost. There's no evidence for that. It's more anecdotal. You have the veterans saying that they have all this medicine they don't have to take anymore. Is that correct?
