It's getting to the point that naloxone nasal sprays are going to have to be OTC. Otherwise, the carnage will continue.

Naloxone spray will allow people to get to the hospital. They'll most likely need to be on a drip until the drug is out of their systems.

This is a direct result of the war on drugs. Were the stuff legal, it would be properly labeled and in predictable dosages.
