C'MON SON! THE DEA LAUNCHES THE FIRST EVER DRUG AMNESTY IN NEW YORK! THEY WANT PEOPLE TO TURN OVER THEIR OXYCONTIN & VICODIN PILLS! LOL!

Parents are being urged to raid their medicine cabinets for unused prescription meds today in an effort to curb teen drug abuse.
New York's first-ever drug amnesty - designed to keep Oxycontin and Vicodin out of the hands of young people - will take place at more than 70 locations in the city, Westchester and Long Island.

"We have an epidemic of prescription drug abuse on our hands," said John Gilbride, special agent in charge at the Department of Enforcement Administration. The drugs are "sitting like a silent killer in the medicine cabinet."

Operation Take Back takes place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Locations for the drug dropoffs can be found at www.dea.gov.

Seven million Americans abuse prescription drugs, more than the number who use heroin and cocaine combined, authorities said. And some 63% of teenagers nationally say they get these meds from their homes or their friends' homes.
