I think this is an excellent idea as well. A statewide unused perscription drug repository program would stop the "wasting" that often goes on in hospital and may even assist with diversion of drugs. Additionally it provides a tremendous services to the community. I am in support of this legislation and would be interested to watch the program's development and implementation.
