come in a crystalized or powdered form. Spice is various herbs (also know as “potpourri”) sprayed with Khat
and smoked like marijuana.

Bath salts are generally taken by sniffing or snorting. They can also be taken orally,
smoked or injected into the veins.

Proposed Secure Medicine Return Regulations
There is currently a lack of safe, convenient and legal disposal options for unused
medications in Kitsap County. Unused, unwanted and expired medicines in your home
pose a risk to you, your family, our community, and the environment.
Medicine take-back programs provide a secure and environmentally-sound way to
dispose of leftover or expired medicines, and are a part of a comprehensive approach
to preventing prescription drug abuse.
The Kitsap Public Health Board is considering regulations that would make medication
disposal safe, available, convenient and free for Kitsap residents. The secure medicine
return program would:
•
•
•
Provide convenient drop-off locations for unused medications throughout
Kitsap County at no cost to residents;
Provide an option for homebound residents to dispose of unused medicine by
mail at no cost;
Require drug manufacturers to pay for these options.
Learn more about the proposed regulations by visiting
www.kitsappublichealth.org.
The public is invited to submit feedback or comments in any of the following ways:
1) Online (www.kitsappublichealth.org) or via email to
[email protected]
2) In writing via mail or in person at the Kitsap Public Health District offices.
Written feedback must be received by Monday, November 28 at 5 p.m.
