Got Drugs? National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day Initiative, April 30

The National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day is April 30, 2016, 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.  It aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of medications.

The Bethel Police Department has a bin in the front lobby where you can dispose of drugs every day, not just on April 30th, they said.  Other local participants for April 30th are Danbury and Ridgefield Police Departments, but check below for other close by locations.

DEA’S Prescription Drug Take-Back Effort– A Big Success

DEA Public Affairs:

“Thousands of Americans in communities across the country discarded more than 350 tons of unused, expired, or unwanted drugs as part of the Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day Initiative (NTBI) on Saturday, September 26, 2015.

“More than 3,800 federal, state and local counterparts took in more than 702,365 pounds of unused, expired or unwanted drugs at more than 5,000 collection sites across the United States.   This was the tenth NTBI event since September 2010; cumulatively, these events have collected 5,525,021 pounds of drugs.

” ‘The numbers are shocking—approximately 46,000 Americans die each year from drug-related deaths.  More than half of those are from heroin and prescription opioids,’ said Acting DEA Administrator Chuck Rosenberg.  ‘With four out of five new heroin users starting with prescription medications, I know our take-back program makes a real difference.’

“The NTBI addresses a crucial public safety and public health issue. According to the 2014 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 6.5 million Americans abused controlled prescription drugs.  That same study showed that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet.  The DEA’s NTBI events are also a significant piece of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy’s prescription drug abuse prevention strategy.”

    crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!

  15. We should also support Holocaust Revisionism. The main aspects of the Holocaust narrative were put together as Zionist propaganda before there was access to Soviet archives and important E. European witnesses.The work of Zionist Holocaust scholars like Goldhagen and Lipstadt is mostly garbage, and there are even problems with a careful scholar like Browning.In addition, not only are Zionism and German Nazism very similar, but studying one can help explain the other.Further reading:1. 2. 3. .

  27. Putin uses the church, the way Stalin did. As a tool, not an article of faith. Government controlled Islam is being used the same way in Russia. Because in a choice between China and Islam, the authorities have chosen their own form of government controlled and promoted Islam.The church has no independent life anymore, apart from serving the ends of the government. It is a symbol, nothing more.
