National prescription take back day. Apr 28th

I'm guessing nobody in the US on here is participating? Throwing away pain meds at the police station seems about the dumbest idea I've ever heard of.

Wish I could stand outside and do a collection of my own.

Sweet Jesus that has to be the dumbest thing I've heard of in a while.

I've actually wondered what percentage of those scripts are control substances. I am, however, pretty certain that percentage is overstated when it comes to the PR side of "Take Back" day. I saw a show some time ago where they would say things like, each of these boxes hold X hundreds of pounds and therefore is valued at $500,000 or whatever! Seriously? Give me a break, there's no way it's possible to say something like that based on that small amount of information. Hell, one or two measly bottles of Opana would be worth over $2,500 and couldn't weigh but a couple ounces! Sorry, just needed to rant for a bit. Take care all!
