Illinois Drug Repository?

Question by LazlaHollyfeld: Illinois drug repository?
Does anyone know about the laws in Illinois regarding the donation of (unopened) targeted cancer drugs for the use of local cancer patients? If it is legal, do you know specifically where to take them in Chicago? It would be a shame to waste $ 10k worth of a drug because a regimen was changed, while someone who couldn’t afford them hopelessly watched their tumors grow.

In my area it is technically illegal. However, anytime I have any meds left over, even as simple as antibiotics, I give them to my doc who dispenses them to the patients who cant afford them. Perhaps your doc does the same thing? Not many people are going to take them from you accept maybe your doc simply because who knows if you have done something to the meds? I assume you havnt, but thats why it is illegal. Your doc however should be able to trust you, and can get the meds to the patients that cant afford them
