“There is a safe, nontoxic drug called naloxone that can instantly reverse opioid overdose and prevent most of these deaths. But the drug war interferes with saving overdose victims in two ways: first, because witnesses to overdose fear prosecution, they often don't call for help until it's too late. Second, because the drug war supports the belief that making naloxone available over-the-counter or with opioid prescriptions would encourage drug use, the antidote is available only through harm reduction programs like needle exchanges or in some state programs aimed at drug users.” WayFirstsTwoWarStatesHelpingUseBeliefSupportDrugSafeLateProgramVictimAvailableHarmSavingWitnessToo LateUsersReverseInterfereAntidoteTwo WaysNeedlesReductionPrescriptionsWar On DrugsProsecutionDrug UseOverdoseOpioids Author:Maia Szalavitz
