10. A tamper-resistant cartridge for an inhalable medicament delivery device, comprising:
a medicament;
a penetrable seal that enables the inhalable medicament delivery device to controllably release the medicament from the tamper-resistant cartridge;
a neutralizing agent that, upon contacting the medicament, renders the medicament inaccessible or functionally neutralized; and
a barrier between the neutralizing agent and the medicament, the barrier, when penetrated during efforts to remove the medicament from the tamper-resistant cartridge without activation of a reservoir tap of the inhalable medicament delivery device, releases the neutralizing agent into contact with the medicament.
 
18. A tamper-resistant inhalable medicament delivery system, comprising:
a cartridge containing a medicament and including:
a penetrable seal that provides selective access to the medicament; and
a pressure plate that forces the medicament from the cartridge, through the penetrable seal; and
an inhalable medicament delivery device including:
a reservoir tap that cooperates with the penetrable seal to selectively access the medicament; and
electronics that determine a position of the pressure plate within the cartridge and deactivate the cartridge and/or the inhalable medicament delivery device when the position of the pressure plate does not correspond to an intentional activation of the cartridge.
