> As a response to the epidemic the government is fast tracking Naloxone to become a non prescription drug since it reverses the effects of an opioid overdose within minutes.[2] I don't remember where I read that first responders (Paramedics, EMS) will be carrying Naloxone to administer it during responses.

Naloxone should be handed out at needle exchanges no questions asked, it has no side-effects if you are not using.

IMO whoever supported requiring prescriptions for Naloxone and syringes should be tried for crimes against humanity.
