The War on Drugs: Ridiculous

“Hide Your Old Pills in Poop, Government Says” – That’s the title of the Reuters article. It includes tips from government officials on how to hide old, high-powered prescription pills in foul substances for purposes of disposal.
Use them or lose them, people. If there is someone you know of who might steal your old prescriptions either from your house or from your TRASH unless it’s smothered in cat shit, then maybe it’s time to have a talk with that person. Either that or call the police because someone’s rifling through your trash.
I’m not going to get into a big huff over how I feel about the War on Drugs – not today anyway – but I am going to point out a line which really highlights the absurdity of government solutions to social issues.
“Ferret waste, like nearly any other form of pet waste, can be effectively used to help prevent the abuse of unused prescription drugs,” SAMHSA spokesman Mark Weber said.
How does this even become a topic of discussion?!
I call FNORD.
I call a War on Wars on Concepts.
I’ll see your War on Wars and raise you a Concept on a War on Wars on Concepts! @_@
on second thought… I might have to think that one over.
