Can you use an item and then trade or drop it in the same turn?

The designer answered this directly in a post about the item rules.

No, not for trading. The designer ruled that an item gets one action per turn, so using it rules out passing it on and passing it on rules out using it. Some groups also drop an item after using it, which the ruling doesn't address.

“if you use it, you can't pass it, and if you pass it, you can't use it”

— BruceGee, designer
