    Milwaukee public health officials had an idea for reducing deaths by drug overdoses. They bought vending machines and then stocked them with life-saving supplies — such as Narcan.

        I was just trying to save a click for people.

        I do agree with narcan, and agree with vending machines full of it.

        It is better then people’s loved ones turning blue.

        I have personally attended funerals because of ‘heroin’ od.

        This hit close to home for me.

        Would my friend not be dead if a vending machine like this had been available to her?

        I don’t have the answer for that.

        But the chances would have been higher I wouldn’t had to attend her funeral.

        I’m totally pro narcan, on record.

          I am pro narcan as well. It should be readily available as needed. My initial reply might have come off as sarcasm but I meant it. A free society has access to what they need without special interest groups dictating what is acceptable.

            Sorry if I took it that way, I was in a pretty bad place at home last night when I responded. Didn’t mean to take it out here.
