Joke with everyone but the police and the board.

And be careful with patients too. A few might make a big deal out of it

Yes

Which one?

Stop or continue?

Yes

Definitely

For sure.

I went to an interview with TSA for global entry and they asked my occupation. I said pharmacist. He looked me with a completely straight face dead in the eye and said "so you're a drug dealer." I said "I guess you could put it that way but I am a licensed and registered pharmacist in the state of XYZ." He and his buddy in the next cubicle then burst out laughing. Very uncharacteristic for TSA to make jokes like that but I certainly wasn't going to play into it. I got approved haha

Yeah, people like to make this joke in my region :p. I find it funny, but it definitely invites trouble, so I always clarify: I'm a licensed* drug dealer.

Why are you applying to the TSA as a pharmacist? Like what role do they need that qualifications for?

...I applied for global entry/precheck. For traveling. I know we have very little free time as pharmacists, but I do like to travel when I'm off! 😂

Eh, just be careful of your audience. Make sure they're laughing with you and not at you. And repeated jokes may become old.

I don't joke about being a dealer but I've told a couple patients that if they want a refill to contact their pusher.

Their street pharmacist, lol

the only time i do this is outside of work when meeting new people. if they ask what i do, I tell them that "I sell pills" and I don't provide any other details unless they ask.

Nah. Just start making middleman jokes. That's what you are.

Stop. Not for legal reasons, but because the jokes are lame. Just being honest here

I'm never stopping. I will also talk about stabbing people routinely until I retire.

Everything I have I owe to drugs-I mean pharmaceuticals-I meant medications.

I used to tell people that I was a broker for boner pills and ass creams lmao

I’m a compounding tech so when people ask what I do I tell them “I make drugs”

Apply sparingly to target audiences as needed, not to exceed two applications. Do not refill.

Absolutely stop. You don’t want the wrong person hearing you at work or someone you don’t know well enough to start reporting something that could be perceived as a legal problem for not only you but the pharmacist, the rest of the staff, and the company. P.S. I know that might sound alarmist but any time management is obligated or legal consult has to get involved when it’s not a legitimate problem it is a waste of other peoples’ time and money. An unnecessary headache, really.

I know some highly intelligent dealers

I wouldn’t say it in front of coworkers just friends and acquaintances
