Sunday

at least I wouldn't need to be tested regularly in order to receive my opioids for chronic pain.... but then again the pharmacy would always be short of stock There are medications that I take where it would be more convenient to not need a prescription - but then again I get regular check ups. Many of my medications could be deadly for other people.

Maybe this policy should only be for MAGAts?
