In Bergen, Norway, they have just started handing out the nasal spray to heroin addicts. We have a huge overdose problem here and I hope this helps.

thats encouraging to hear - it seems like huge problems in the US are starting to force a change towards harm reduction, i think it's vermont where it's really out of control and they're changing laws a little bit, for example, if an addict calls an ambulance for someone who overdosed, then they won't be arrested or charged for drug offences
seems they can be given as a nasal spray so safer than injections - when people are not medically trained
