“”””Experts in the field decided this antidote to nearly fatal drug overdoses was a modern-day miracle that would save lives and help steer drug abusers back from the brink. Once saved, they opined, the addict could then seek meaningful treatment.””””
Stupid jackasses! How many times has a drunk awakened and declared that since survived the night they’d give up drinking only to search for a bottle by nightfall? Narcan saves the body not the mind or soul
How about napalming the poppy fields of Afghanistan for starters.
Funny thing about death. It cures almost all addictions.
Without a doubt, countless thousands have had their lives saved with a dose of naloxone. But then what?
Then YOU pay for these people making the same stupid decision over and over on our dime.
I have yet to hear an answer to that question.
The heroin and morphine in the US comes primarily from Mexico and South America. We need to stop the flow of illegals across the border to stop that flow of narcotics.
Also, fentanyl and carfentanil can be made in garage labs.
The drug abuse spiral often starts with prescription drugs. People move to heroin or morphine because they are cheaper than prescription drugs. They then move to fentanyl and carfentanil both because they are cheaper yet, and they have more potent and quicker acting effects.
I don't think that giving up on the war on drugs, as libertarians want to do, is very helpful, either. Drug abuse is a complex problem, and there will be no easy solution for it.
One answer is that destroying 40% of the Afghan economy isn’t how to win their hearts and minds.
3 years ago I predicted this would be the case. Never mind stopping the drug traffic, just keep the addicts alive so they keep buying. Make it a safe experience so newbies won’t be so afraid to give heroin a try.
Go ahead and flame me, our very own government agents make boatloads of boatloads of cash from heroin sales. If you kill the customer you no longer get their money.
And in the meantime, the price for Narcan is skyrocketing with ordered and wanted demand, with Pziser being the biggest winner so far.
The poppies in Afghanistan are surviving nicely, too. What the hell are we still doing in that $#!thole? Does anybody know?
no the real problem is we have a society of lazy,quick fix sloths who need drugs and will not quick...
to treat them, why not medically stabilize them and THROW THEM IN JAIL!
forced drug abstinence will at least keep them safe for a while...
Mexico is now our biggest supplier.
I don’t know if I want to pay thousands of dollars to pull drowning people out of the water, only to have them fight me off and jump back in, again and again and again.
Who believes we will ever win their hearts and minds? Dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
People are reporting from their communities that at least most known addicts started with marijuana. Fast food restaurants are not proper jobs for rehabilitation—a practice that puts communities even more at risk with possible disease outbreaks and increasing undetected criminal activities.
Then get out. What the hell are we doing there?
And yet so many want weed legalized. Apparently they can’t figure out the connection.
“Go ahead, try some heroin. You won’t die from it, I promise.”
The policy of government-mandated Narcan application to the guy who overdosed is indistinguishable from the pitch of the pusher who sold it to him in the first place.
75 years ago we destroyed essentially 100% of the German and Japanese economies.
Their hearts and minds came around.
Earlier this year, New Mexico became the first state to mandate that each and every law enforcement officer be equipped with naloxone.
I'm so proud of our progressive, forward looking state, taking such good care of its scumbag druggies.
Next they will mandate that the cops and EMTs carry heroin to pass out to the druggies to keep them happy, and the naloxone so they can do it over and over again.
