We can now go to the pharmacy and get free Narcan because we need to protect drug addicts from themselves, but an Epipen costs $600.


What the fuck?

And the epipen has a very short ?shelf-life?. Many people can?t afford to keep one on hand even with very life threatening allergic reactions.

I just read today that rural Pennsylvania has really been hit hard by the heroin overdoses. Heroin is very unforgiving unlike meth (pity).

Yes, heroin has been a big problem here and I understand something must be done about it. I also understand that doing heroin is a choice one makes. I've made my share of bad choices in life and I know lots of people do make bad choices, but I own the consequences of those choices as should they.

Should we help heroin addicts, yes. Do we need to stop the flow of drugs coming into the area, again, yes.

It just seems like something is wrong when kids born with allergies and the parents of those kids are put to enormous financial burden yet Nracan is now free for the asking to protect drug users.

AS crazy as this.

Following a record-setting year for opioid-related deaths in New York City, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Thursday night that the city will open safe injection sites for drug users, BuzzFeed News reports.

Safe injection facilities provide people with clean needles, supervision by staff trained in overdose prevention, and connections to other health care including addiction treatment.

All I can do is shake my head.

This is stupid. So, the users take their baggie of heroin (that?s probably been up somebody?s ass) and prepare it for injection in front of people paid by the state. Dumb.

Yes right now it's bring your own smack. This is like having lifeguards at Heroin Beach.

Upstairs watching sports on the big TV.
The biggest problem with teens in my era was sniffing airplane glue and tipping trash cans......(of course this was in the days before electricity)

Now its a wide open field....vaping to meth, marijuana, heroin, liquor, oxi, fentanyl, pick your poison.

Read an article yesterday saying the best thing that could happen to planet Earth is if all the humans quickly died off.

Kinda sums it up doesn't it?:0008

I've been rooting for the big meteor for a while now. When it does hit I'll be the one outside signaling for a fair catch.

We've mangled this existence more than we should have been allowed to, it's time to give another species a chance.

Nature always wins. The reality is, humans can't really screw up Earth. They can only screw up their existence on Earth.

Probably about as idiotic of a post as I have ever seen. Yeah, sure you've been rooting for it to make a fair catch. Are your kids and wife on a Southwest flight sitting together while you do it? Or do you wish for them to die too? Such a big statement by Pengy. Sheezus!

yyz do you honestly believe humans can't screw up the water supply?

true without water Earth just turns into Mars

The air quality and water quality will come back once we are gone.

People are assholes. We don't give a shit about the next guy. People "care" only if it doesn't interfere with their comfort.
