This sucks. I worked in EMS through the peak of the opioid epidemic, and once Narcan became commonplace and widely available, our OD calls dropped noticably.

I honestly have no words... This one is hitting me in ways that I cannot describe. What these people have done to my generation through the creation of this epidemic is inhumane, and this step back has made me have a full blown cry. Hug the ones you love, you never know who is suffering. If you are reading this and you are suffering as well, know that you are loved too.
These people want death. They are death worshippers.
Truly, best I can tell, death is seen as the solution to many problems rather than, you know, solutions.

In conjunction with this, we are also getting rid of epi-pens in EMS vehicles, planes, and hospitals because this goes beyond a having allergies problem.
[RFK voice] I killed my brother by forcing hard drugs on him that he'd get addicted to and ultimately overdose. All I'm doing now is killing the American people that are addicted to drugs. What's not to understand about that?
Critics warn that cutting Narcan funding could reverse life-saving progress, especially as fentanyl-related overdoses persist.
Isn't that the idea?
Yup, there's an alleged epidemic of fentanyl pouring through our borders, and we have resources to save lives. But that isn't their goal.
I'm curios, does anyone know an ex heroin junky that went straight edge and didn't substitute heroin with another addiction? Because I don't
Testosterone and steroids, at a minimum. Probably body dysmorphia brought on by destruction of his brain from decades of hard drug abuse plus a fucking brain worm
That's the minimum. He probably got in with Elon's hookup.
He should check if he's still addicted once he gets rid of the narcan
He will do as the brain worm commands
