[Vanilla] How to force a pawn to carry a dose of any drug for "just in case." (Without them ever taking it.)

[Big Sir]

This is for when you want a pawn to carry a drug in their inventory, but only take it when you tell them to.
1) Create a drug policy that tells the pawn to take some quantity of the drug to their inventory.
2) Set the frequency, mood, and recreation requirements such that the pawn will never take the drug on their own.
3) Create a caravan with the pawns you want to carry the drugs. Don't tell them to carry any items in the caravan menu, however. The destination can be anywhere because we're not actually leaving.
4) While the pawns are in the state of "forming a caravan," draft them. Then, right click on the drug and select "load into caravan."
5) Remove the pawn from the caravan or cancel forming the caravan.

If the pawn loaded any more of the drug than what the drug policy dictates they should carry in their inventory, they will download to that exact amount.

Et viola, you have a pawn walking around with one dose of go juice, wakeup, or any drug that you don't want them taking without your permission.

Don't post this on reddit because they don't deserve this kind of wisdom.

Why do all that when you can just use this mod?

I'm just saying this is how you can do it in vanilla.
