"OD"

The Bible told me laughter does good like medicine, so my people happily overdose. The War on Drugs was not completely lost on the Negro, for we pop jokes like Molly, taking drags on Jones and yo’ mama makes THC look like collard greens. Our gaping mouths seep laughter because it numbs the pain. When we are high, we hallucinate a world that loves us.
