Illicit Substances

Would everyone please share how they handle illicit substances brought into your hospitals. These are items like meth, marijuana, fentanyl laced street products, cocaine (non-mfg), etc.
1. Are you turning them over to local authorities?
2. Wasting on site and if wasting on site how are they handled?
3. Do you have a vendor that allows this to be completed on site?
