we waste liquid narcotics by pouring them down the drain, witnessed by another RN, and we enter our fingerprints into the narcotic system.
just flush it down the drain.

I once had a bad cough and the doctor prescribed a cough syrup with codeine. It was very effective. I had some left over and kept it for two years and used it on a future cough, because I find the usual cough syrup worthless, and I can't stop coughing and thus can't sleep.
A few times since then, I was tempted to ask doctors for cough syrup with codeine, but was always afraid they'd think I was a druggie, so I never asked.

any pharmacy should take back and dispose of drugs for you.
Treat each day as your last; one day you will be right

Codeine was once widely available without a prescription, but I don't think that that is the case today (in the US). In Israel, one can still buy aspirin/codeine or acetaminophen/codeine over the counter.
Codeine is a very effective cough suppressant, but, like all the opiates, can cause constipation. Just a little thought for those tempted by the cough-syrup sundaes......

Your local town may have a drop off center for drugs and various environmentally hazardous waste.
If I have interesting things on the walls, no one will notice how dirty the floors are - right?

Don't they say not to flush drugs because they get into the water system? I always thought you're supposed to mic them with coffee grounds or similar waste and put them in he trashwe waste liquid narcotics by pouring them down the drain, witnessed by another RN, and we enter our fingerprints into the narcotic system.
just flush it down the drain.

I dunno, but then our water systems are chock-full of dilaudid and fentanyl.

the nurses ignore both of them and do what they want to do
