A Wave of Addiction and Crime, with the Medicine Cabinet to Blame
Police departments have collected thousands of handguns through buy-back programs in communities throughout the country. Now they want the contents of your medicine cabinet.

1. DEA are scum!
They are one of the most evil and corrupt agencies in government.

DEA are idiots too. This stupid program will accomplish nothing other than to waste more money on their dumb-ass drug war.

Maybe they're getting bored with chasing old hippies around their pot patches. I hope so.

Fucking asshole pigs! They aren't getting any of my Oxys, that's for sure.

3. Oxys are the opiate of the people.
They take away people's oxys and then they'll really have some people pissed.

2. It's also an environmental issue.
IMO, we need an ongoing national program that allows citizens to dispose of their prescription medicine in a manner that does not leave the medication in landfills and water supplies.

5. You're more likely to get truckloads of fluoxetine, sertraline, cefalexin and amoxicillin.
But, if you're willing to sift through the pile to find the remnants you desire, please do.
