  • I agree with all of this even from the other perspective, which is of the person receiving the naloxone. The only bad thing is that its needed in the first place.

    You were right as well, I was quoted that price 3-4 years ago. I keep one in my car now and one at home, not for myself but you never know like you said.

    I would feel awful if I didnt have it in my car when someone needed it.

    Edit: sorry one small caveat, people are afraid to narcan drug users because they can become incredibly sick and violent depending on the person. Personally, I almost killed myself trying to get high again after as well and not by overdosing, I almost crashed my car on the way to my dealer. Its a fucked situation either way.








  • Sort of. Its very expensive if someone else doesnt pay for it. CVS quoted me 350$ for a single dose inhaler.

    It is true that its not hard to get if you go to places that offer help, but if I’m hiding an addiction from my family, I’m not stopping by the local methadone clinic for a box of naloxone.

    As for marijuana legalization, its made a huge difference. Its one of the best comfort medications for handling minor opiate withdrawal, as it takes the place of maybe 5 or so other comfort medications that are often prescribed together.

    It can’t be abused the same way opiates can be, it has a ceiling affect and is not dangerous to the user immediately. On top of that, before it was legal, methadone clinics would either restrict their patients who used, or kick them out. Now, they see the drug test show marijuana and just don’t care.

    Thats mainly from the perspective of a drug addict. A drug naive person maybe is more likely to go to a dispensary and be happy with that rather than chase street highs.
