I should…not do this, lol. Despite the intrusive thoughts, I shouldn’t dump all of my escitalopram in the toilet.

But like! It would be the real me tho! I so wanna do it 😭

    Most US police stations have a dead drop you can dump scripts or anything else into w/o question. Don’t put them in them into the water system.

        Thanks, 'cause I (as a civil engineer) was also triggered and getting ready to write a similar response, LOL!

        For reference to others reading this: https://www.fda.gov/drugs/safe-disposal-medicines/disposal-unused-medicines-what-you-should-know

        (TL;DR: there are only a few medicines that are recommended to be flushed, and it’s generally because they’re opioids and the risk to the environment is less than the risk of addicts fishing them out of the trash.)

        I was just making it known that there are other options, it wasn’t an attack on you or the meme.

      I did this once. Found a location, put it in the gps, and turned out to be inside a goddamn prison. I recommend seeing if a hospital will take them as well.

        Yeah, fuck anything like this. You don’t want people shoving shit down the toilet stop kicking down their goddamn doors over it.

        Whats the issue if its a prison as a drop off point? If you get caught bringing drugs into a prison as a convict or a visitor the penalties are 3x worse.

        So having a drop box there makes perfect sense.
