Yes, lets let the government fix the opioid epidemic they started themselves with the taxpayer footing the bill. The system working as designed as always.

Somehow however noble the reason it always ends up with vast taxpayer money flowing into private hands.

The dispensers were once newspaper sales boxes, the university said. They were placed by the federally-funded Central Michigan Recovery and Education Network, a program at Ferris State. “Narcan saves lives, which is so necessary due to the rise of opioid use,” CMREN Project Director Gail Bullard said in a statement. “Our area is not immune and Naloxone being readily available is essential.” Federal grant funding totaling $1.2 million is supporting the program. The state is providing the Narcan nasal spray for free.

I had people knock on my door and give me several boxes of narcon just in case. When I posted about it, all my ghetto friends felt insulted that I thought it was really ghetto.

The opioid epidemic crosses all economic lines, so I'm not sure it is ghetto for them to be handing out narcan, although I can't say I've seen that anywhere door to door. This is the first I've heard of it, so I don't know what to associate with it.

I was surprised to see Naloxone posters in pharmacies and hospitals in small towns here.

Thought the Fentanyl junkies problem was restricted to the cities.

Idk, maby all pharmacies and hospitals have to display those posters by government decree.
