    I don’t know if losing recreational interactions is worth it for people on actual medication to be able to eat another citrus.

    Like, just eat an orange or something, idk.

      I’m not seeing the issue here. They’re looking into engineering a grapefruit that people like me on those medications can eat safely. It will make our lives a little better if we really like grapefruit and can’t eat it. What’s the problem? People get hypoallergenic cats.

        If you eat grapefruit on a narcotic like codeine it “interferes” by giving you a much stronger buzz. I believe that’s the recreational use the other person was talking about

      I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who had that as their first thought.
