Everything gets delivered in today's gig economy. If you can't tell if you've hit a full grown man while driving - trade your car in and take an uber to your appointments.

    Well then maybe we should haave specialized pharmacists who's only job is to study about each of the controlled medications, store them as they are meant to be stored, and deliver them to people who can be a danger when operating a vehicle.
