We need to ban the sale and use of narcan (except for first responders to administer to themselves).

This will help solve the opiod problem a lot quicker.

Narcan doesn’t work on every drug........................

I tend to agree somewhat - though it sounds cruel it's proven now to simply enable further addict drug use...and those experimenting with drugs see Narcan as an escape from potential death so lessen their risk.

“..We need to ban the sale and use of narcan..”

Yep.
My brother is a retired paramedic. He told me that on countless occasions when they used narcan to revive an OD, that the druggie would come around and then be totally PO’ed to the point of violence that the medics interrupted their “high”.
Yeah, just banning it, except for the first responder use to protect themselves, will definitely make a huge difference and all by attrition, too.

My Wife told me one of her trainers for CPR said one person gets SNAP benefits, goes and buys groceries at a local supermarket then gives the food to his “dealer” who gives him the smack/fent. He then goes into the store’s mens room and shoots up “because the light is good in there. They have had to narcan this joker ten freaking times in the last few months.
