      Misplaced, stolen, and misused drugs didn’t start out that way. Clean out your medicine cabinet by disposing of your unused prescription medication today, on National #TakeBackDay⁠! Find a drop-off location here: http://takebackday.dea.gov  @ONDCP @WhiteHouse

      A majority of heroin users got their first opioid high from a medicine cabinet. Don’t be someone else’s first dealer. #TakeBackDay

          Y r drug addicts being helped & chronic pain patients being punished by forced taper of life saving pain meds? Addicts CHOOSE 2 take drugs 4 a high. Chronic pain patients take pain meds to RELIEVE their pain so they can function & NOT SUFFER! Pls reverse what govt is doing.

          FALLACIOUS! .@Surgeon_General, "A majority of Heroin Users got their first opioid high from" an ILLEGAL drug. The MOMENT a Rx Medication leaves its LAWFUL Prescribee, it becomes an ILLEGAL/illict drug & can NO LONGER be referred to as "Prescription Meds." #ARRESTopioidHYSTERIA

          Correct! Federal law prohibits sharing of meds. Charge those who steal and stop with prohibition tactics.

          Does it feel good to lie to the American people? Does spewing your propaganda make you feel better about creating a world of suffering for chronic pain patients? How many in pain will #SuicideDueToPain before you stop this torture? How much death is enough before it matters?

          Lies! Lies! And more lies! Diversion was up last year from the year before. Diversion is occurring before it is dispensed to Patients. Majority from PBM's, shipping, pharmacies and hospits!

          And that is a shame. Thankfully they are being helped. Where is the help for the chronic pain patients who are getting their medication taken from them? There is no solution offered. What happens to them?
