Residents can safely discard unused or expired medications, no questions asked, during Operation Medicine Cabinet planned on National Prescription Drug Take Back Day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 29 at Westfield Countryside Mall .

Medicines can save lives but when they fall into the wrong hands, they can also take them," said Clearwater Police Chief Anthony Holloway in a release. "Imagine being a parent and finding out that you're your teen's drug dealer. Most teens who report abusing prescription medication say they got it from family, friends or acquaintances."
