Yea man, it certainly does come down to HR. I'm sure that most of us have at least seen part of
The OxyContin Express documentary, and the dude in it's girlfriend had actually died from and overdose from smoking or sniffing Oxy, or maybe a combo of both. I know we all hate on the smoking roa when it comes to pills, and most say that it is damn near impossible to OD via the smoking route, but it definitely does happen, and I have heard of people ODing from smoking fentanyl.
This is why no matter the ROA, it is important to have someone with you that can call an ambulance if you overdose, and it is also why I feel that narcan should be made available to anybody OTC. I mean, what is the harm in allowing anybody to pick up some vials of narcan, and they even have the nasal sprays that are basically nasal syringes. You can't get high off of it, so why not make it more available. Worst that someone would do with it is play a cruel joke on a using buddy by spraying it up their nose when they are nodding, in which case the person will kick their ass while going through precipitated withdrawals, and maybe projectile vomit on them for good measure.
Seriously though, the antidote for something that so many people die from every day is available. It is asinine that you can't just walk into any pharmacy and get it. I'm glad to see some progress being made in the availability of narcan even in the few years that I have been an educated user, but it is not enough. Especially when they are more than happy to label current heroin and other prescription opiate abuse as an epidemic.
