Dump your left over drugs in with the kitty litter

People were once told to flush their leftover prescriptions down the toilet. These drugs have since been found in the nation's water supply in small amounts. If someone else's medicine is coming through my faucet, it better be something good.

Seriously though, the drugs have been affecting the environment in rivers and streams (insert Viagra joke here) and small amounts are indeed coming through the tap. Although no adverse effects on people have been reported, the government has asked people to stop flushing most medications. So what do we do with the drugs we can't sell to neighborhood degenerates haven't used?

The Feds say to mix 'em into your kitty litter. The clumping action of the litter will stop any liquids from leaching into the soil and the actual litter will discourage anyone from popping the pills . The plastic liner will keep the whole bag of goods from entering into the water supply. I'm not sure what the government recommends for those of you who don't own a cat.
