We have an issue with it as well. The solution we're looking at is to make naloxone available OTC

They are trying to make narcan OTC which is absurd. I can't wait till that becomes legal and see the commercials for it.
"If you or anyone you know is suffering from a opiate-overdose, administer this syringe and back up, because the subject will defecate, urinate himself, and vomit uncontrollably while hopefully you are calling an ambulance because they go back into OD and die most likely if you don't"

Addiction to pain meds has caused the heroin problem. No surprise.

Narcan is the most common name for naloxone.

Well, if they don't want people to OD on heroin then stop making prescription opiates so hard to get.
I don't disagree with thus, but some 19 year old fratstar doesn't OD on heroin because he got hooked on pain pills after back surgery.

Prescription painkillers have a lot to do with this
OC and others were all over campus a few years ago. No surprise that this happening now. It was pretty obvious where the Florida doctor pipeline was leading.

I knew two people like that. One spent her tuition money on weed. The other one had to go into rehab halfway across the country.
Addictive isn't a binary variable. A tiny number of pot users end up addicted, while a much larger percentage of heroin or crack users will end up addicted.

Yep, reformulation caused people to switch

Jesus frick. The penalties just went up from 5-50 yrs to 10-99 yrs recently. The threat of a 10-99 yr prison sentence, for a first time offender, has done nothing to curb this. But these old fricks in charge are so mentally inflexible, all they can ever do is pass harsher laws.

it was reforumulation of oxycontin (80s specifically)
roxi's are stil avaiable in 10/15/30 mgs but after the OC reformulation their prices skyrocketed and continued to climb. Heroin came back to get that market and it came back big.

at one time selling heroin was indeed a life sentence in Louisiana. Not sure when that changed, but it's still a hefty 10-99 yr sentence.

Some of them that put shite like fentanyl in their dope knowing there's a good chance it's going to kill the user should be locked up for a long time

So the students who are doing heroin USED to be buying oxy but that's too expensive so have now switched to heroin?
What ever happened to doing some lines and raging all night?
Now students want to do a bunch of painkillers/heroin and nod off by themselves?

of course when it effects that group its time to stiffen penalties.

Does that have something to do maybe with the fact we have more people on earth than ever before?
