I guess some people think this looks like candy. How is a pharmacist supposed to be able to tell?? /s

yea... easy mistake to make... after all, it’s painfully easy to confuse a pill with a reese’s cup

seriously, if for nothing else... any pharmacist that cannot IMMEDIATELY tell the difference shouldn’t be in the job

Last night our youngest grandkids were over to trick-or-treat. After a couple hours of eating some candy one was hyper and raising tantrums, cried herself to sleep. Kids can get psychological disorders (very temporarily) from regular candy! (But let’s keep drugs out of their hands...)

The druggist then slapped the delivery boy on his bad ear. If only he hadn’t got that telegram telling him his son died, and got drunk, and filled the candy bags with pills he found...

They discovered something was seriously wrong when the teenagers were discovered peacefully doing their homework and listening to Debby Boone records.
