Oh, they aren’t going to let normal people have these until they’ve figured out how to get rid of jailbreaking/rooting once and for all. Can you imagine what would happen if people could get high on weed without failing drug tests? They wouldn’t be able to fire people for getting high off duty on their own time. Oh, the horror /s. The morons in charge of our society will never take that sitting down.
“It keeps buzzing your brain into doing your stupid task until the 30 hour shift is up, but don’t worry, you get sweet dopamine hits and painkillers the whole time and aren’t sure why this is so enjoyable! The pleasure-task curve is perfectly computed. You’re not even sure how long it’s been. There’s a momentary sadness when you witness a fellow worker just convulse and drop like a sack of rocks. This work feels so important though! You can understand their dedication.”

Or they use the addictive qualities to make workers behave. “Work a 30-hour shift, then the pain stops.”
That’s the 1984 version, perhaps.
I’d posit the Brave New World version is
“It keeps buzzing your brain into doing your stupid task until the 30 hour shift is up, but don’t worry, you get sweet dopamine hits and painkillers the whole time and aren’t sure why this is so enjoyable! The pleasure-task curve is perfectly computed. You’re not even sure how long it’s been. There’s a momentary sadness when you witness a fellow worker just convulse and drop like a sack of rocks.
