Wis. Assembly passes anti-heroin bills (it is anti overdose bill)

Its not through yet but it was passed unanimously in the assembly on to the senate.. things are changing for the better

UPDATED Tuesday, January 14, 2014 --- 3:11 p.m.

"MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- The Wisconsin Assembly has overwhelmingly approved a package of legislation designed to protect heroin addicts.

The bills would allow all emergency responders with training to administer Narcan, a drug that counteracts heroin overdoses; guarantee a measure of immunity for anyone who calls 911 to report an overdose; allow municipalities to hold prescription drug collection drives; and require identification to obtain prescription drugs containing narcotics.

Rep. John Nygren, a Marinette Republican, wrote the bills. His daughter is struggling with heroin and nearly died from an overdose in 2009.

The Assembly passed all four bills unanimously. The package goes next to the state Senate."

Too bad the vast majority of these arrogant bureaucrats only decide to attempt to change drug laws when it affects them personally.

Yeah true. I've always known that these politicians where never going to do anything until drug addiction hit them personally in their own lives with their kids or something.

It's gonna take the bloody president of the united states to have a heroin addict for a kid for any real change to start happening.
