These were mostly psychotropic drugs. Two years ago, hospice workers flushed or poured down the drain all my step-mother's drugs (well, most of them - they missed a full bottle of codeine cough syrup, an almost full bottle of morphine, a few bottles of methadone and several fentanyl patches)... So, the first people we need to be reminding to PROPERLY dispose of drugs are the professionals. Or maybe semi-professionals. BTW, we burned the fentanyl patches and dumped the other stuff down the drain, because that's the way the 'pros' handled them.
