only did this to interfere with the decision of the
US Supreme Court and other courts.

medicine cabinet, so.

that they no longer need and have them turned in
for safe disposal.

Public Safety building are accepting anything unused or expired. Detam
Police Chief Michael Dontremont says holding onto medications around your
home can be dangerous, even if a doctor prescribed them.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Research has shown that a lot of time when people
first start taking drugs illegally, that they get them out
of family or friends medicine cabinet. So if we can
take them out of circulation, lust chance people try and
drugs that they're not supposed to be taking.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
And the take back day also helps to ensure medications
are being safely thrown away so they don't end up
in the trash or in a water supply. But Chief
Dontreumont says, if you miss it or end up going
through the medicine cabinet a different day, that's okay too.
