      From context, it looks like the user plans to abuse the drug, and the pharmacist is well aware the user plans to abuse it.

          I know its memes and not much depth is expected, but I think its slightly more.

          As in, Pharmacist is a socially acceptable profession. Xanax is a socially acceptable pharmaceutical. It is socially acceptable for a patient to take this medication. However, this particular person is planning to abuse the drug, while still maintaining social acceptability, and the pharmacist knows this too, and is giving a wink and a nod they are aware of it.

          The joke being “we’re not dirty drug dealers and users, but really, for this case, we are, and we’re getting away with it being socially acceptable.”

    I have a Xanax script and I use it as prescribed (for sleep). I don’t like the way it makes me feel if I have to be awake, so abuse is not a temptation.
