Legal Question in Criminal Law in Illinois

What kind of drugs? Illegal? Prescription/expired? How much -- a little, or a "lot"? Why do you want to call the police instead of simply destroying them? Are you concerned they would be found in the garbage? If you turn them in, depending how long they've been there the police might have the right to investigate and that would include yourselves as well as the previous owners/occupants. If you mishandle them you could destroy evidence or implicate yourselves in their possession.
