Expired Epipens-- what do you have?

[CMdeux]

This is what I'm wondering-- if our allergist could 'collect' them-- or a friend in a chem dept or pharmacology school.

That way there is a transfer to someone official, chain of custody can be arranged, etc. 

also-- this is NOT a 'controlled' substance via a drug schedule, so there is also that. 

In other words, I need NO license/approval to purchase epinephrine from Fisher, Sigma or anyone else.

There seems to be some research on this, but vague.

That I can do.  I can make it rain... expired EpiPens AND Auvi-q in both dose strengths.  Bags of 'em at controlled temps.
