Hi Ga-Ram,
You did a very nice job on the graphics of your board. The message comes through very clear, and it is professionally done. It sounds like you need to propose a radical design idea for a problem that appears to defy solution, one that his been attacked by many designers, with mixed results. Any sufficiently secure method for safeguarding pills will also complicate containers for lots of many people. Already, many people struggle with "child proof" containers, which are often adult-proof, too. So, this is an extremely difficult problem that you don't have (or aren't revealing)a viable method for reducing the use of pharmaceuticals that have been prescribed for someone else. It is also problemmatic to say that your product will conmmunicate the idea that "drugs are dumb" to people who have already written off such warnings as not applying to them. Maybe you should just accept the fact that people like to take drugs, and design a pill bottle that allows you to steal someone's pills, as long as you leave your name and phone number, so that they can plan an intervention.
