The DEA is putting on a program tomorrow to collect unused prescription and non-prescription medications at 5,000 locations nationwide. Thats a great thing, however their advertisements are kinda strange (at least with the wording). The sign says "Got Drugs?" hoping that people will stop by their local drop off point to properly dispose of medications.
It is true that improperly disposing of medications, such as dumping them in your toilet or throwing them away can polute our water supply, so there this is a good thing that our government is helping protect the environment. However check this out:
Now one thing I found out was in my area, there is one drop off location at an Elementary School. What the hell? A school really? I thought those were drug free zones? All I have to say is..... Thank you to our government to send the wrong message to the community by putting a collection site at an elementary school. The authorities did not think this location through.
