In just a few days, drugstores like Walgreens will have it in stock, for everyone. Here’s how to use it, and who it will help.
Wow, I didn’t know it wasn’t. That is crazy!
It was previously available behind the counter but a prescription was not needed .
Now it’s time for conservatives to crow about how this is a bad thing and not have a good reason why.
For my Aussie friends - there is a free Take Home Nalaxone program, you can go to a huge list of chemists and get it for free, no prescriptions, no intrusive questions, super easily.
I got mine a couple of weeks ago 😄

Same here, at least on the west coast of Canada. Free, take one or two and go save some lives!
why in the fuck would it not be to begin with
Conservatives don’t want it?
i don’t know. i think there are many inconsequential things you can’t buy over the counter in the united states. i have to wonder if it’s a health insurance complex thing.
I mean health insurance plays a part in it. Conservatives don’t want to pay tax money on narcan for people they consider valueless when they are already paying for their own health care. How do I know they think they are valueless? They don’t want them to have access to a life savings thing. Also plenty will just straight up tell you that if you ask.
The fact this exists proves we lost the “war on drugs”
