It's bad enough that the medication passes through your body and ends up in the water system, don't flush raw medication down the toilet.

Holy cow. Thanks for directing me to this!

On Monday, when I picked up my new prescription at the hospital for that damn skin rash, I asked the pharmacists if they had any means for disposing of old medications and they said no, they don't even know what happens to their unused meds. :(

How is your skin rash coming along?

The stronger hydrocortisone cream prescribed by the doctor worked! I got the rash Saturday morning, got the medicine (to take twice a day) Monday morning, and I think Wednesday evening was when the itching stopped. By Thursday evening (last night) the rash had subsided so much that I stopped using the cream. Today I'm *almost* back to normal, whatever that is...

Thanks for asking!

I think deciding on civil disobedience as a way to protest an immoral law is a possible choice, but one that should be taken sparingly. Also, I think the person should be willing to take the consequences.

For instance, Martin Luther King accepted jail when he broke Jim Crow laws.
