so James P has the most accurate info so far, but...c'mon, do they really dispose them, burn them, follow procedures? i find it hard to believe no one would keep some for either personal use, or profit ...

After the case is completed and disposed of, the drugs are disposed according to the policy and procedure of the holding agency. Where I work, they are sent to an incinerator and destroyed.

All Law Enforcement (whether civilian or Military) must first catalogue, identify, and store the evidence for the trial and its inevitable appeals.
AFTER that process is exhausted, then the seized substances are designated for destruction per the regulations in place for the State, Department, or Service -- this can include incineration in an approved facility.

nicely, the unlawful drugs that have been seized are positioned right into a locker with the electorate call on it and the citizen is given the biggest. as quickly as the citizen is released from penitentiary, he then is in a position to flow to the locker and retrieve the medicine, that are legally his, in view that they have been taken from him in the 1st place there is one stipulation inspite of the undeniable fact that, and that's that the citizen ought to return the biggest back to the Police Station so it is going to likely be obtainable for the subsequent citizen who gets busted for drugs so as that HIS drugs additionally are positioned away for risk-free retaining till he's in a position to %. them up.

callee you are so right , however don't be surprised if you hear a knock on your door at 3 A,M, , it was estimated in the early nineties that almost 50% of the drugs were put back on the street , and many times cops who stopped drug dealers or more accurately the mules simple took the drugs and sent the person on his merry way then every one was happy,I don't think the statistics have changed much if any

Theoretically they are destroyed after the trial but sometimes they get stolen.
