February 12, 201610 yr Kroger stores to sell Narcan without prescription in southwest Ohio, Northern Kentucky - Story We've had a lot of talks about heroin, figured this deserved it's own thread. Not sure I'm for this but got mixed feelings. Thoughts?
February 12, 201610 yr I think Walgreens is going to set up a Kiosk as well. I think it's sad and pathetic in so many different ways. I'm not mad at Kroger or any company for realizing there is a market for Narcan. It's just sad that society is essentially excepting heroin use as something that can't be stopped. Our communities have decided to support heroin users in hopes of saving lives that they must facilitate them. I'm not going to lie I may be caught "people watching" when I see folks buying Narcan. Although I'm sure some that purchase it will be doing so only because they fear a loved on may overdose. I was talking to a paramedic about this yesterday and one thing I will say is they'd better buy multiple Narcan doses. He said that any more it's very common for Narcan to have to be administered 2-3 times before people respond.
February 12, 201610 yr I don't get why some are against saving the life of a person who ODs. Should a paramedic stop life-saving procedures at the scene of an accident when they realize the injured was driving drunk? Texting while driving?
February 12, 201610 yr Dont understand why we dont just let these people die its obviously what they want.

These people are obviously trying to end their life, why should we interfere and save them?
February 12, 201610 yr These people are obviously trying to end their life, why should we interfere and save them? Are you including drunk drivers and texters in that statement?
February 12, 201610 yr Wouldn't necessarily be against it... So how drunk before they paramedic walks away? .01? Legally drunk? Are you saying they should administer a BA test before starting? Should they examine a phone before they start ?
February 12, 201610 yr Are you including drunk drivers and texters in that statement? There's a major difference between those two groups and these people, but hey, keep on with the awful comparison.
