There is already rumors of street dealers selling Naloxone along with Heroin or other opiates to those who have addictive personality disorder.
Before the end of the year all – or nearly all – states will allow Naloxone to be sold without a prescriptions. IMO.. it will not be long before pharmacy robbers will be seeking not only opiates … but.. Naloxone and “clean needles”… So they can sell “value fix kits”…
They are going to follow the fast food restaurant’s format of “value meals”. I have seen the price of Naloxone being sold at pharmacies for upwards of $200. What good businessman doesn’t want to have repeat customers to help build their business ?
Last night on the local ABC station (www.whas11.com), of course they had to do a follow up to the ABC special on Heroin overdoses and on the early edition the reporter stated that Louisville/Jefferson County Ky had administered 43 doses of Naloxone over the first 14 days of March and “EVEN ADMINISTERED TO ONE INDIVIDUAL TWICE IN ONE DAY”… guess what was edited out of the 11 PM news and the clip put on their website ???
Should “frequent flyers” be given Vivitrol ? This is a long acting (28 day) Naloxone shot? There will be no “highs”… no “fixes” for them for at least 28 days.

Your opinion means nothing. Can you just deal in facts?
In Ohio it’s $40 for naloxone.
Needles should be sold at a pharmacy our given away at a needle exchange.
Harm reduction works.
Please educate yourself.
Here is a article that states Naloxone is being sold for $187.00.. http://articles.philly.com/2016-02-12/news/70572063_1_naloxone-narcan-opioid-overdose apparently some of us don’t have the “balls” to attach your NAME to your opinions and have to HIDE behind the name ANONYMOUS in order to state their own opinion. Also apparently you are quite “late to the game” in reading my blog and like a lot of people… jump to conclusions base on your opinion of a single post and not look at the other 3200 posts on my blog. But – unlike many other blogs – I allow individuals to post anonymously to show my readership just how uninformed some people are, and your post appears to succinctly make my point
