that stuff is NOT cheap, and only has a shelf life of ~18months, let the dopeheads buy their own if they want itChurches should have more community outreach programs but they need to stick with the charitable feeding/clothing of those truly in need - and, oh yeah, talking about Jesus....
This do good Bishop could end up killing a lot of druggies.
The half life of Naloxone is very short time wise. Druggies with a heavy over dose could respond positively and seem okay. Then a couple of hours later the Naloxone blood levels could be below therapeutic levels. Then, the patient could fall back into a serious OD problem, renarcotisation, again.
“the pharmacodynamic actions of naloxone last for a briefer period than all but the most short acting opioids;8,24,29,31 although the elimination half life of naloxone is similar to that of morphine (60–90 minutes)9 it is redistributed away from the brain more rapidly.32 Consequently, the patients may become renarcotised and suffer harm if they self discharge from medical care early. Clinicians are clearly walking a tightrope between precipitating AWS and avoiding renarcotisation.”
Just a hunch, but I’m guessing there aren’t a lot of West Virginia episcopalians.
From my research that drug can’t hurt you.
I thought the Bishop would want the congregation to carry it on their person in case a person in their orbit should need it. Until I read the article.
In principle and depending on what’s actually happening this could be PART of a good idea. It’s like have an IED on hand.
You need a protocol amd a team of parishioners trained to use the decide or the med and, above all, an agreement with area first responders.
Only if their congregations tend to shoot up smack during services and church social events.
Another spiritually empty trend for a spiritually empty trendy denomination...
