The Sheriff’s Office’s press release quotes Snohomish
Regional Drug Task Force Commander Pat Slack as saying, “Many of today’s heroin
addicts started with prescription drug abuse.” So the effort is to take as many
old and unneeded prescription drugs out of circulation as possible.
According to the press release, more than 390 tons of
prescription drugs were collected nationwide during the Drug Take-Back Day in
April of this year. During that day, more than two and a half tons of un-needed
prescriptions were collected in Snohomish County alone.
