It's only about $730/day to use (since it's not on the VA's list of approved drugs).

He’s talking about ketamine.

Maybe this is the answer to the OP query. Trump's Mar a Lago friends are running the VA

Is he doing a commercial for Johnson & Johnson in exchange for a better price? He says it 5 times. How does he hold details like this in his head and also think that Greenland is for sale? (rhetorical question)
The drug itself is very expensive (Spravato) but patients are not allowed to take it at home. It has to be administered in a clinical setting, adding to the cost:
Based on the wholesale acquisition cost, the price for the first month of treatment will range from $4,720-$6,785, and a month of ongoing therapy for patients who are helped could cost between $2,360-$3,540. After treatment, patients will stay at the facility for two hours to be monitored for side effects including dissociation, sedation and increased blood pressure, and will need to be driven home afterwards, Manji says.

Wow, interesting stuff. Which one of them is on the board at Johnson&Johnson?
Noah Bookbinder, executive director of CREW, tells Rolling Stone that the newly obtained emails are “a clear example of individuals who had no government positions or understanding of the issues that they were weighing in on but who nonetheless were taking up the time and resources of government employees.”
Also how we end up derailing diplomatic relations with allies over dumb sh%t like trying to buy Greenland.
