Scioto County Sheriff David Thoroughman announces that his office will be participating in the DEA National Prescription Drug Take Back Program on Saturday April 24, 2021 from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM in front of the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office located at 1025 16th Street Portsmouth Ohio. Sheriff Thoroughman encourages all citizens who have unused prescription medication to bring them to the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office for proper disposal.
Unused or expired prescription medications are a public safety issue, leading to accidental poisoning, overdose and abuse. Pharmaceutical drugs can be just as dangerous as street drugs when taken without a prescription or a doctor’s supervision. The non-medical use of prescription drugs ranks second only to marijuana as the most common form of abuse in America.
The majority of teenagers abusing prescription drugs get them from family and friends-and the home medicine cabinet. Unused prescription drugs thrown in the trash can be retrieved and abused or illegally sold. Unused drugs that are flushed contaminate the water supply. Proper disposal of unused drugs saves lives and protects the environment.
Sheriff Thoroughman states that if you don’t properly dispose of the unused or expired prescription drugs in your home, they might find a new one.

Yesterday night I tested several gaming platforms online because many apps become irritating after continuous smartphone browsing sessions. While exploring OkWin Game, the overall experience felt much smoother compared to many similar gaming platforms I had recently checked. The menus looked properly arranged, sections opened quickly, and switching between pages remained comfortable during longer usage without creating repeated loading issues on my phone.
Appreciate efforts like this to reduce overdose and abuse, awareness like this goes a long way, even past Slope Rider moments.
What I like most about Melon Playground is how unpredictable it can be. You set something up thinking you know what will happen, but the physics surprises you.
slope is an exciting, endless runner game from the popular Slope series. Control a ball as it rolls down a series of slopes, dodge obstacles, and aim for the highest score possible.
