The only way I can rationalize stealing a whole bottle and not just a pill as not being stupid would be if Clark were planning on using them on his enemies, or people he just wanted to have his way with.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

It's a remora, dimwit.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Maybe Clark un-crunches the trucks the way normal people do with 2 liter bottles when they play fetch and the dog squashes them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

This is Clark you're talking about -- no need for it not to be stupid.

Clark's behavior is having me wonder if he was exiled from the home planet for being stupid. Or if this is some survival method by his people - they lack the mental capacity to raise their own children, so they send them off to other planets where at least they'll be stronger than everyone else.

It was a liquid.
Plus, grabbing a bottle is faster and provides more info than grabbing a pill or pouring liquid onto something and having it chemically analyzed.
Plus, yeah, this is Clark.

I was figuring he planned on having it analyzed, because just stealing one bottle wouldn't really harm the uncle's ability to keep her drugged. I wasn't sure if the bottles were labeled - or he could have just tried to remember the specific name of the chemical.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I believe that it's Gary Graham of the 'Alien Nation' T.V. show.
I don't think that was Gary Graham. I certainly didn't recognize him. Not that I would complain if he got a part besides The Bitchiest Vulcan Ever on Enterprise.

Looked him up. Christopher Shyer. Looks like your typical Canadian actor.

I wasn't sure. Though it doesn't seem that Ma and Pa Kent, with their history of money problems and the family history of flipping trucks would spend so much on one for Clark.
It seems to me that you could catch considerable price breaks on a truck if the driver didn't need things like a working engine. Just drill holes in the floor and let him travel Flintstones-style in it.

Christopher Shyer.
Knew he looked familiar. Hannibal Lector dude on The Practice that Lindsey blows away.
