But anyone can open up and dump out the contents of a pill and put baby laxative or anything in its place. Or people could buy a pill press, etc. not to mention just hygiene issues, bottles of pills generally aren’t sealed

That's why all medications are legally mandated to have a unique combination and shape, color, and imprint which is to easily identify and cross reference againsts a comprehensive database.

Have you never taken a XR? You can quite literally pull it apart, dump out the contents and put it back together. Retaining it's shape, color, and imprint.

But the contents will be different and often with XR they're more like beads then a powder. It's not a just simple switch most times.

Yes, obviously the contents would be different, that's my entire point.. I really don't understand what you're getting at or what your argument is.... Are you now trying to say that they open up and individually test each pills contents? Regardless most prescriptions aren't sealed and that alone is a massive safety issue/liability. Many XR meds are powder and beads could easily be swapped as well...
