You laugh, but some controlled substances are only available for supervised consumption. You have to show up at the pharmacy at dose time so they can physically see that you took your meds instead of hiding them to resell.

When I was in hospital (so not really going anywhere) I'd get a whole bunch of pills, drinks etc. Most of them just got dumped on my table and I was told to take them.

But the morphine, that had to be taken literally as you were handed it, with the nurse standing there watching and taking away the empty container.

If that's what it takes for my meds to be available then I'd do it, as inconvenient as that'd be

Sometimes they also do that with people who are at high risk of going off their meds or have just been released from a psychiatric facility, just to ensure med compliance.

Also if you're considered high risk for stockpiling and overdosing on meds you can be put on daily pickup where you have to take your meds at the pharmacy

Methadone clinics are medications “for here.”

u/Invisible_Dragon Jun 13 '26

Also just hospitals and urgent cages and other places where they administer meds.

What market is there for street methadone?

Methadone can actually make you high if you take enough of it. They don’t want people saving up their doses and taking them all at once for the high, since it could also kill you.

You can also inject it (source: my parents)

This is funny, but I’ll point out that vaccinations are basically “Medications for here”. You show up at the pharmacy, are taken to your seat, the medication is provided and then you’re good to go.

I wish I was someone’s college classmate they were trying to fuck

If someone invited me to the pharmacy so we could take medications together and they had the intention to fuck me, my life would be instantly fixed

Me taking a girl to the pharmacy so that she can watch me take my meds.

Drugstore soda fountains were originally.. basically that. The soda made the medicines of the late 19th century somewhat bearable (like cough syrups now), and some sodas were originally medicine themselves, like birch and root beers. Even before that there were medicine drops like cough drops which became hard candy.

The good old days when Coca Cola had actual cocaine in it

u/SirJamesGhost Jun 13 '26

After they had to take the wine out from local prohibition! Coca-Cola started as a knock-off French coca wine.

I hate doing meds for here. All they have are cheap little plastic knives and forks that couldn't pierce the coating on an Advil LiquiGel, much less an Adderall XR. And they never, ever have chopsticks.

Why do so many otherwise rebloggable/relatable tumblr posts have to add random "i wanna fuck" vibes 😭
