Boy If you fucking let me loose in a Pharmacy with no Technician behind th ecounter I'd sniff these out in A second Boy

maybe so, but you’d have to get yourself into the locked, time-delay safe before the cops got there 💀

[tranquilsanatorium]

You guys have time delay safes? The most "sophisticated" thing we have here are usually double door steel cabinets. Manually locked by the pharmacist ofc. And when I say it's the most "sophisticated" we have for narcotics storage, i mean in it terms of technology. There are some public hospitals in my country which use a literal wooden cabinet to store schedule 2 substances. The same wooden cabinet you'd use to store clothes and books. Maybe separated with mini plastic drawers if needed. That's it.

time-delay safes are pretty ubiquitous in the US in retail pharmacy (at least in big chains, i’d guess community/family-owned pharmacies might not have the same sort of equipment), it’s a safety precaution for the most part. they are by no means sophisticated, just a big metal cabinet with an electronic lock stuck on it and the timer will force you to wait a set amount of time before the lock will work. also, only the pharmacist is allowed to access or unlock the safe in my state, techs can only count the drug. this is basically the exact one we had at my pharmacy when i worked retail:

i work in a hospital now and it’s veeeeeery different dispensing scheduled drugs—i had no idea what it would be like until i started working. every single controlled substance in the pharmacy (as well as propofol, even though it technically isn’t a scheduled drug—that’s just the policy at my hospital, not a legal thing) is in a giant dispensing safe. to access the contents of the safe, you have to log in and/or scan your fingerprint and basically tell the computer everything that you’re doing and why and tell it exactly which drug you plan to remove (or it will tell you which to remove). the cabinet will then unlock itself and you will be required to back-count the entire stock of the drug, report then number, then tell it how many you plan to remove from the cabinet (or it will tell you—again, it depends on the task you are completing). you will then remove the drug and close the door of the cabinet, which will lock itself again once you finish the task. everything is also being filmed, and unlike in retail, ANYONE who has pharmacy access can use the narcotics safe, which is usually just technicians because pharmacists are typically not doing the grunt work of filling scripts or restocking the patient units. this is very similar to the ones we use at the hospital, it’s called an omnicell:

this kind of dispensing cabinet is also where all drugs are stored that nurses, doctors, etc. might need access to, not just narcotics, so they are eeeeeverywhere! in inpatient units, ORs, the ED, you name it!
