The problem is with much more dangerous and addictive opiates. The most pervasive opiates these days come from doctors and drug companies They say you can get addicted by doing one oxy... I have seen it, it's a fact... That could be, if the person gets a little buzz, likes it, and keeps taking it. I've had both the oxy's contin and codone recently. If actually taken for the pain, there isn't a 'high' that goes along with it, just a reduction in pain. I think if a person is feeling a 'high', then either they don't need the pain killer, or they're taking more than necessary. It appears as if you are trying to extrapolate universal truths from your limited, individual experiences with painkillers. Perhaps *you* didn't feel a "high," or perhaps your "high" was masked by pain, or perhaps not. But for you to state that if a person is feeling a "high" from taking a pain killer, then they don't need the painkiller or that they are taking more than necessary, has little if any basis in science. I took one oxycontin pill following oral surgery. The next morning I flushed the rest of them down the toilet. I was in some degree of pain but I sure didn't like the spaced out feeling that one little pill gave me. I am not exactly a small person either. Do not flush drugs down the toilet! Take to the police station or other drug drop off points. Contaminates the water supply. How much of this girls having periods at 9 years old, or even the ADD from the estrogens and other crap in the water. Never thought of that. But I really wonder how much 9 pills flushed into a 2500 gallon holding tank and then eventually leached into a leaching field can contaminate the water supply. If it does, the whole concept of a septic system is questionable to start with. It is actually a major problem in a lot of places. Do not know how much from a septic system gets in to the water supply. The drugs seem to not be filtered out even in municipal water systems. And those 6 drugs multiplied by 300+ million consumers is a lot of drugs. I was curious, so I looked up the recommended procedures for disposal of expired or unused drugs. You are correct. In general, the Federal guidelines recommend *not* flushing down the toilet most medicines and drugs and recommend mixing them with undesirable items in the household trash instead. However, there is a list of some drugs that they *do* recommend flushing down the toilet. Opiates like morphine and specifically oxycontin are on that list. The reason is to further reduce the chance of unauthorized retrieval and use. These recommendations seem to be focused more on areas with municipal waste treatment plants and not private septic systems. Stil doesn't make any sense to me however. If the drugs end up in landfills, waste treatment centers or private septic systems, they still can theoretically contaminate ground water. BTW ... a private well used for drinking water only has to be 100 feet from a leaching field in most states. We have hazardous waste collection centers, and lots of pharmacies in Calif accept drugs for disposal. I would be more worried about drugs and chemicals migrating to the well from the leach field, than any normal organic matter. We have a problem in Livermore, next city over, with some wells had to be shut down as Tritium from the LLNL contaminating them. |
