A closure member may be releasably coupled to an upper edge of the outer wall for closing the open top of the container. The outer wall of the container consists of a hemp-fiber reinforced biopolymer.

Dispenser devices suitable for use on unmanned aerial vehicles are described having utility for dispensing solid larvicides to difficult to reach insect habitats.

A controlled substance fraud prevention method preferably includes a camera, a database of faces with names, facial recognition software, a database of medicines prescribed to each face and a portable medicine safe. A patient goes to a doctor for some medical issue. The doctor will issue a prescription for a controlled substance, after photographing a face of the patient; and uploading the facial image to a computer server. The first computer server contains a database of faces and names. Facial recognition software will compare the uploaded face to other faces to determine if there are other names with the same face. A photograph of the patient's face is taken at the pharmacy and the image is uploaded to the computer server by pharmacist for facial recognition. The pharmacist also checks a database of names and medicines, before providing the prescription through a portable pill or liquid medicine safe.

A device including a portable frame, comprising a tray and a lid that closes upon the tray, and multiple cavities formed in the tray and configured to receive a container is provided.
