Fair Trade - A Green Acres Interlude
Dr. Turbo: I think you have a problem with substance dependence.
Patient: I do not have a problem with substance dependence!
Dr. Turbo: Well, I see that your outpatient doctor was prescribing you 12mg of Xanax a day. That’s a huge amount of Xanax. I suspect you’ve developed a tolerance to it.
Patient: Yeah, but I wasn’t using all that Xanax! I was selling at least half of it to buy marijuana!
Patient: I do not have a problem with substance dependence!
