We once didn't even have ritalin. How the hell can it be a right? How the hell can someone have a 'duty' to provide it? Are you really sure you're not confusing 'duty' with 'it would be nice if they did this'?

A pharmacist isn't and shouldn't be bound to enter into every possible transaction that their license allows, no more than an OB/GYN is required to handle every single patient request. You misdefine the profession and confuse 'the patient wants this' with 'the pharmacist owes this'.
I never said it was a right. Just as I wouldn't choose to become a police officer because I would not be willing to enforce certain laws, someone who is unwilling to dispense medication to patients should not choose to become a pharmacist.
