#4  Mouth-to-mouth breathing is the most straightforward way of doing this...

Uhh...I don't think so.

#3  why? let people use whatever they want. If they sicken or croak so what. stop giving the cartels a leg up by making substances illegal and expensive.
IMO we keep coming back until we get it right.

#2  Yes. I sure want to be sued for resuscitating an addict as a good Samaritan with no sovereign immunity behind me.

#1  As cruel and inhuman as it sounds.
I can see using these resources for the Accidental OD's with mandatory drug use education also.

I can even see a Free Drug Rehab for anyone asking the 1st time.
Using Law Enforcement fund collected from DEALERS and Cartel.

But why waste the Taxpayer $$$$, or the Narcan on perpetual OD'ing addicts?
That will never be anything but a drain on the already limited overburdened system ?

BTW: a Druggies's life is usually about 30++% shorter than normal.
But they still impact the system 20% to 40+/-% more, depending on the drug of choice and economical social class they hold..
