One of the pillars of primitivity is popping pills. Any pills, in fact, are ok to gobble up and eat if you are a primitive. Worrying about what kind of pill it is comes secondary to the primary concern of actually gobbling them. Naturally, maintaining this pillar of primitivity creates a lot of empty prescription bottles.
Up until now, I don't think any of us have found a use for the primitives, except for maybe torch fuel, or something along those lines. Although the "product" the primitives are producing is actually a byproduct of their bad habits and addictions, it's still better than their usual value and net contribution to society of zero:

A great use for your empty Rx bottles - especially those with child proof caps
"While first world nations throw away perfectly good medicine bottles, medical pharmacies and hospital facilities in Malawi often find themselves with nothing except torn pieces of paper in which to wrap medicine for their patients. This is often seen in rural hospitals and villages where the poorest of the nation try to live and survive. You can help to change this.
Save up a group of your containers when you have completed that portion of your prescription. Place them in boiling water until you are able to easily remove the labels, and the glue. Then box or bag them and send them to the Malawi Project for shipment to Malawi.
It will help families in a third world country keep their medicines clean, out of reach of small children, and safe while they are being used."

All primitives have plenty of empty prescription bottles just floating around. Popping pills is as much a part of primitivity as apple pie is to good and decent people.

2. Thank you so much for this info.
We don't have a lot of these, fortunately, but I am delighted to know they can be re-used.
"A lot" is subjective. This primitive probably has two sheds in the backyard full of empty prescription bottles.

8. Thanks! Already fired off
an email to local friends asking them to save any empties for me.
A primitive and a few friends will be all that is necessary to provide Malawi with more than enough bottles.

9. I will do exactly that.
I already have a little stash of them just because I hate to waste things like that. This is a great post. Thanks for sharing.
more bottles

18. Yeah--I have repurposed as I can, and the rest have gone into the recycling bin, but this

10. Bookmarking. I take a lot of meds
This is a good idea. Thanks.
I'll check them out later and get a box out in the next week or month.
I think you see why this is a great idea to make contact with the primitives for their bottles.

11. This would be a good project for Nursing Homes. Someone could drive a circut and pick the
bottles up ever so often, like once every 90 days.
But if we euthanize the elderly, who will take their pills so that they still have empty bottles to give??

Why can't the DUmmies just wire a dollar to Malawi and then take their old medicine bottles to the pharmacy when they need a refill and save all that CO2 required to clean and ship empty bottles.
-
So let me make sure I understand this.
There is a finite number of prescription bottles in the world.
There are almost none in the third world, where mostly people of color live.
DUmmies have so many prescription bottles, they don't know what to do with them.
(See where I'm headed?)
Tax the DUmmies. No one should have more than 2 prescription bottles. #checkyourprescriptionprivilege.
So forth and so on.

DUmmies that ask friends for bottles won't tell them the part about removing the labels first. Nope, they'll try and scam fake prescriptions from the newer bottles. :stoner:

I'm trying to recall the female DUmpscrunt that found a pill on the floor, and promptly ate it.
This was a few years ago, and very entertaining.

Just remember the primitive mantra: "Find a pill, eat a pill."

I was thinking about that very thread a few days ago, when I dropped a pill I was prepping for my dog on the floor. :lmao:

I would have to buy her one of those cow hoofs to chew on when going to PetCo or PetSmart.
Otherwise she would be pawing through all the squeeky toys.

That's not all bad.
If DUmmy Lucinda had consumed a few dog pills, she may have avoided her apparently terminal infestation of hookworms.

What about the poor poor Krakatoans ?
