the one who has set us free. Don’t keep on
locking yourself up, don’t be stupid. Don’t
be an idiot! It’s a no brainer. You are free,
enjoy your freedom. Dear folks, friends,
critics, loyal readers, or whoever you are,
we all need to get out of our funks and feel
that freedom to be happy. Enjoy life knowing
that God has set you free!
Wow! I Woke Up a Few of You!
I struck a cord, tickled a nerve, lit a fire
under some bellies with my declaration of
anti-cancel culture statements last week.
Never have I had so many of my 32 readers
respond. “Right on bro!” “You finally came
out of the closet. You have been beating
around the bush for years, but you laid it
all out this time. You have nothing to write
about next week.” Those were just a couple
of the comments from a week ago. I really
do want to be transparent. Who the heck
cares if some would disagree with me or
you? Isn’t that America? God created me
White. My ancestors were from Germany. I
had no control over my birth and who my
mom or dad were. Why should I apologize
for being me? Someone with the last name of
Huber was a Nazi leader. Does that make all
Hubers bad? The values we need to promote
are ones of respect, acceptance and love for
all people. So what if I’m a stupid, old white
geezer, I kind of like me that way. Peace out
bro! Love and kisses sis!

medications may not only be ineffective, but
potentially unsafe.
Safest Disposal Methods
There is a lot of misinformation about how to
dispose of prescription and over-the-counter
medications without causing harm to people
or the environment. Some counties sponsor
drug take-back days or offer drop boxes, that
allow you to bring in medications that you
want to discard.
Unfortunately, not everyone has access to a
drop-off site; that’s where at-home disposal
is a useful option. If you want to safely and
easily discard old medications and render
them harmless at the same time, Deterra
Drug Deactivation System Pouches are the
only at-home medication disposal system
that permanently deactivates over-the-counter
and prescription medications. It is the safest,
most effective choice to destroy and dispose of
unused and expired medications. The pouches
use activated carbon and tap water to render
any medications inactive.
Environmentally Sound
Disposal Methods
Concerned about the environment while you
clear out your prescriptions? In the past, many
thought disposing of medications by flushing
them down the toilet or throwing them in the
trash was acceptable. However, it is clear that
many ingredients in medications can pollute
water and soil.
Activated carbon is organic, chemical-free and,
once used, makes medication safe for disposal
in normal household trash. Plus, it prevents
harmful medications from contaminating
landfills and water systems. Deterra pouches
themselves are USDA-certified biobased, made
from 50% or more plant-based material and
manufactured in a factory using 100% wind
generated power.
When you’re discarding your medications,
don’t forget the bottles. Check containers for
a recycling symbol, and consult your local
recycling service for guidelines. Remove or
obscure personal information on prescription
labels, then rinse and dry containers to remove
any residue before recycling.
A Campaign to Get Rid 0f
Unused Medications - For Good
Since 2020, Deterra has partnered with SAFE
Project, a national nonprofit working to end
addiction, on the Gone for Good campaign,
a pouch giveaway to help prevent medication
misuse and increase access to at-home disposal
resources. Admiral James and Mary Winnefeld
founded SAFE Project after the tragic loss of
their 19-year-old son Jonathan to an accidental
opioid overdose.
“It’s so important for families to be aware
of this issue, and to do whatever they can
to keep family members safe,” said Admiral
Winnefeld. “Regularly removing substances
that could potentially be misused is one way
to help protect everyone in your household
from this very real danger.”
The April 2021 Gone for Good campaign will
distribute 20,000 free at-home drug disposal
pouches to U.S. households. Anyone in the
continental United States can request a free
pouch be mailed to them at DeterraSystem.
