MN Turns In Over 4,000 Pounds Of Drugs To DEA

Authorities say residents in the Twin Cities metro area turned in over 4,240 pounds of prescription and over-the-counter drugs at collection sites over the weekend.

The Drug Enforcement Administration set up 11 collection sites in the Twin Cities on Saturday, and five sites in southwest Minnesota.

The drugs turned in at the Twin Cities sites alone included 435 pounds of controlled substances such as Vicodin, Percocet and Valium.

The DEA says Monday that the number of emergency room visits due to pharmaceuticals rose 97 percent from 2004 to 2008. The DEA says recent surveys show 63 percent of teens believe prescription drugs are easy to get from the medicine cabinets.

The collection was part of a nationwide program

I could easily turn over 20-30 lbs myself, all of which are long expired.

Need to clean out those cabinets.

Whats the point of this? Guns, yes. They need a collection site to be disposed of properly. Needles too, but toilets arent hard to find. If you need to get rid of drugs just flush em and save my tax dollars for something people cant do themselves.

that's part of the problem...people are flushing so much down the toilet that the levels in our drinking water are getting too high and they are trying to find another way to dispose of them...also, they are trying to get people to clean out their medicine cabinets so the kids quit taking all the left-overs

Thanks Semi, guess i just figured if they can clean up the water enough to get rid of other solids that the drugs would also be taken care of. Then again, chemical vs biological substances. Well, they're the DEA's problem now
