    Oh yeah, I forgot that the shoebox pill can essentially summon anything that actually exists in it. HOWEVER, I would take the “take 2” instruction as a kind of wish limiter, meaning that any other duplicated pills you took after the first 2 wouldn’t work. Ixnay on the wishing for more wishes! But take shoebox pill, wish for shoebox full of something valuable, take dupicate pill, duplicate shoebox would be smart.

        That’s also a valid interpretation. The spirit of it is that you have to choose 2 out of a bunch of effects, though, so I’d stick with that. But if these pills are a limited resource, I would accept the shoebox dupe trick being a method to give 2 of these pills to an large number of people as long as a lot of them kept taking a shoebox one and wishing for more pills.
