I'm not going to debate. I'm for decriminalization.

That said, nalozone should be stocked in every pharmacy across America.

Just like needles. Needles can be bought in CA.

Hell--I would put it in emergency glass boxes all around SF, and most cities.

(To anyone addicted, bupernorpine works pretty well. Most of you could get down to a very low dose of bupenorpine pretty quick. It really helped me. I was never a bad addict. I just started taking pain pill from a nurse friend. Well, kind of a friend. She meant well. I could have just told her no, but didn't.)

In the nineties, a friend of mine called me up, and asked me what do you do with someone who is overdosed.

I told him there was naxolone, but it's only available at the hospital.

He called back while in transit. She died at the hospital.

He was living next to CVS pharmacy. If it was available, she would still be here. She wasen't even a long term addict. It was her second time using.

IMHO you should debate people that cannot see part their own stupid short-sighted self-interest and tell them about the value of human life compared to their "inconveniences". just like you did here. You should totally debate an push hard on their BS

You clearly didn't read my other comment.

Does it really impact you though?

Is our medical system so well tuned that people receiving a procedure that literally saves their lives is inconvenient for you?

I come from Ohio, so it impacts me that my friends and their friends have lost loved ones to this epidemic (who had been administered naloxone more than once, no doubt). And I've donated to harm reduction programs in New Orleans that provide community administered naloxone and safe needle sites so don't get me twisted. That is not the same as a unionized state apparatus and the overhead involved.

Do you believe that is someone whats to kill themselves is their right to do it?

Do you agree that people that need and want help should receive it?

Where does your personal freedom and where does my personal freedom begin?

When someone does the same thing 10 times like that they owe an explanation to the community whose resources are keeping them alive, even if in principle. I think it's hilarious that you're lecturing me about the value of human life above and totally miss what I said about community administered treatment.
