I don't get the hesitation about the government handing out drugs. If it's cheaper than using healthcare and emergency services to deal with ODs, and the drugs are safer so there are fewer ODs in the first place, where's your concern? If it's about tax dollars, it seems to me the goal of this program is to
reduce the spend
and keep people safer
and allow our resources to be used elsewhere. What's the downside?
