there’s a line at the dispensary;
people suffering all sorts of misery—
seeking some herbal remedy
to provide relief, if but temporarily.
praise be!—beats alcohol insanity.

- Comment from author about the poem: If you’re going to medicate, choose your medicine carefully. There is no such thing as a harmless substance, but substances are not equally harmful. Alcohol carries a serious risk of dependence, addiction, and lasting damage within a person and the people who surround them. As a medical user under the care of a doctor, I am thankful to have found the right medicine for me. Part of the Truth, Applied collection.

Just a few miles of running ! The best remedy to keep the dispensary at bay !
I wish my job would allow me some joint relief. I used to enjoy it years ago but the company I work for are strictly anti drugs. I doubt they'd even allow it on prescription. Alcohol is my poison of choice but it's more harmful in my opinion. Nicely written Tristan - Syd 🍄
yes too many think prescription drugs are not dangerous
