It’s a made-up story…
to go
Yea you’re going nowhere after a pound of morphine, I tell you hwhat.
It’s not that you can’t go, it’s just wherever you happen to be suddenly becomes the most comfortable surface you’ve ever laid on.
I usually just take a gallon of PCP
I didn’t even know it came in liquid form!
You are. You’re going to SPACE.
Ah, yes. The one place that hasn’t been corrupted by capitalism
The amount of confused euros ITT is hilarious. Yeah, the states is very backwards. Paper prescriptions, paper checks, paper social benefits cards. What most people don’t realize, like in the meme, just because a pharmacy gets a prescription doesn’t mean they don’t call into the docs office to confirm the script. These are rituals from a bygone era that should have been long replaced by computers and near instantaneous communication.
Central EU, I get my prescriptions on paper. They also send them digitally to some system so I can simply walk into a pharmacy and pick up my stuff using me e-ID.
the other typo makes it really hard to figure out whether “mophine” should have a [sic] on it…
According to the snopes article that someone else linked in this thread, mofine is spelled incorrectly on purpose. This is a make believe story with overt racist undertones; the “r” sound in morphine has been dropped to imply that the rx thief is a black person.
wow that’s worse than i thought.
