    I swear if they did something so simple as say making codeine or even hydrocodone over the counter we would see such a drop in overdose deaths and the illicit opioid epidemic.

    Muhammad Qasim shared his dreams about warning of future events with Govt officials & Muslim scholars but not many paid attention. Then after a terrorist attack in 2014, Prophet Muhammad SAW came in his dream 2x asking him to share his dreams with the world. Muhammad Qasim Dreams
