Ed Interesting article but there are some key takeaways from it which should be
addressed as more serious then abuse by teenagers or adults which is only a
small, very small part of the problem. He reccomends flushing or landfill (which affects everyone not just teenagers
or adults that abuse by tainting the water supply, and animals) But the biggest is convenience yes people do not want to drive somewhere to
dispose that is why take back programs have little affect on water
contamination. This is the problem we have discussed extensively. So I hope you are not
promoting flusing or landfill or that you speak out against it.

Subject: [Pharmwaste] Over prescribing of opiods to children documented
Great story about a recent study:
http://www.drbicuspid.com/ index.aspx?sec=ser&sub=def& pag=dis&ItemID=318826

"... on average, patients only used 42% of their prescribed medication. More
concerning, they found 82% of parents were not told what to do with the
remaining medication, and only 6% of parents actually got rid of leftover
medication."
