Long story short:

Friend's father (only living parent and only child) died of lung cancer Saturday. He didn't last a third of the time they expected and he died at home (as he wanted) leaving a ton of 80 mg OC, countless patches, about 90 4 mg Dilaudid, and a bottle of 20 mg/cc subling morphine. What does the law say regarding the disposition of these meds? My friend is terrified of being arrested with all these Schedule II meds that aren't even his. Guess I should also add that he is even afraid to approach his father's doctors about this, and we don't want to throw them out because they might end up in the wrong hands, plus we don't want to put them in the sewage system due to environmental concerns.

And no wise crack PM's with your addresses. We want to honor his memory and not loot the medication that was helping him be comfortable.

To be honest, he offered them to me because he knows my back and nerves are screwed up, but I refused because I know myself and would be a junkie inside of a week. The thought of that much opiate product scares the living doo-doo out of me, as well.
