What is this? To me this pretty much says "when you do drugs and overdose just use this and you can save a dopeheads life so they can live to do more drugs later". This is essentially approving drug use and diminishes their negative effects. It makes opiod abuse a little more acceptable.

When I was a kid we had slogans like don't do drugs, DARE officers came to our schools and talked about drugs, comic books had little ads about not doing drugs, cartoons would sometimes have little messages about not doing drugs and so on. What happened to all of that?

We should be discouraging drug use, not normalizing it.

Apparently you've never heard of an "accidental overdose."

I watched a video where a cop stopped someone and he searched the vehicle and found a bag of pills. He picked them up and within seconds had OD'd on fentanyl. Just from touching the bag. The size of an OD would fit on the tip of a pen.

You're not protecting the lives of drug users. You CAN wind up saving the life of an innocent victim.
