Are you comfortable with a pharmacist using his or her judgement when filling a 'script for a narcotic?

Exactly my point - I think the pharmacist should have no discretion in the dispensing of medication - if it is a valid prescription, give it to them.

Ahh, but you're assuming that the pharmacist may use his discretion as to whether or not the 'script is "valid."

That's what pharmacists do. And we want them to do so conscientiously.
