Neither should most drugs. Pharmacies are essentially the middlemen, and I say that as someone that works for one. We just get the drugs shipped to us in huge bottles that we break down into smaller ones.
I can understand the controlled substances to a degree, but there's even an argument to be made there because they'd be safer than street drugs
Occasionally pharmacists do something useful, like spot any drug interactions that could be harmful, but even that is generally done automatically by the computer program they use to fill orders. All of that can easily be done by a doctor and even the patients themselves
If you think you are sick with something common and easily curable, you shouldn't need to deal with all of the red tape, especially when we're talking relatively safe drugs.
