They are legally required to make decisions about whether or not to fill it.

They are not just some supermarket cashier.

Pharmacists go to school 4-6 years to learn about drugs. But hey - they don't get to use any of that knowledge in their job... "Just give me the little white box in cabinet #2 please."

Why do Pharmacists even study and train for up to 6 years if you don't want their opinion on how this drug will affect you?
