Some may be extended release and therefore not dissolving as they should.

That is not as easy for some people as you may believe. And the same is true for some people when it comes to trying to properly ingest a teaspoon of pill powder.

Medications should work the way they’re supposed to work. And when people on social media forums cannot be expected to follow rules that have been stated and restated countless times, it is not very realistic to expect that everyone who is prescribed the medications will even be aware of, much less follow, “Oh, by the way, the pills you were given don’t dissolve as they should, so rather than our giving you replacements, just smash them up and take them that way” instructions.

“ One may protest against evil; it can be exposed and, if need be, prevented by use of force. … Against stupidity we are defenseless. … [R]easons fall on deaf ears; facts that contradict one's prejudgment simply need not be believed … and when facts are irrefutable they are just pushed aside ….”
