The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved selling overdose antidote naloxone over-the-counter, marking the first time an opioid treatment drug will be available without a prescription.

Wtf you can’t get narcan in the US? Here in Canada like everyone has it. I work in a restaurant and we have two kits in the kitchen, I also have two at home because they’ve been giving them out free. My girlfriends mom keeps some in her car and used it once already to save a person overdosing on the street. Why in hell would something like this be regulated when the US is in a massive opioid crisis?

War on drugs.
