Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems that rely on a self-locking cover to limit access to narcotics. A self-locking cover may allow for a single access opportunity to a narcotics vial, which may be one or both original vials and waste vials. In some aspects, a self-locking cover may be incorporated into narcotics transportation and tracking mechanisms, which may allow for increased security against tampering or abuse of narcotics, particularly narcotics waste. Self-locking covers may prevent uninhibited and free access to waste narcotics, which may be susceptible to abuse.
