Let the junkies die. My dad is a cop and he has responded to a number of overdose calls. You know what happens after the paramedics restart the heart with Narcan? The junkies complain about losing their high. For every one kid who has had a bad reaction to their first time trying marijuana there are fifty heroin addicts who have already given up on life and serve only as a burden on the emergency response system.

Unfortunately some here fail to remember that we are all still human. We are all capable and prone to make dumb decisions. That doesn't mean that we should die because of them. It's drugs, not murder. Get over yourself.

It saves lives. The only argument against I can think is that it encourages drug use, but do people taking drugs really think about whether or not they can call 911 if they OD?

I believe people confuse the difference between healthy habits and addiction. There's a clear line, generally it's the addicts that tend to cross that line.

Yes, AS LONG AS if and when their taxpayer-funded medical care to save them is complete they provide information to help find distributor. If they clam up, immunity is off the table.

No, choices should have their consequences. You want to support crime and cost the state money trying to save you in exchange for immunity from your unlawful actions? What kinda shit is this

Reminds me of how some universities do the same when dealing with alcohol poisoning in students. Now they can call for help without fear of consequences of underage drinking rather than leave them.

Indiana lifeline law is very similar. If you are underage drinking and someone needs medical attention you don't get in trouble if you call 911. Has saved many lives and is a great idea.

Any prohibition of victimless actions or conditions is a bad thing, so this "exemption" is good in and of itself.
That said, this in practice means that the only way to legally possess whatever it applies to is to overdose on it. So, overall not a good situation, haha.

I don't like it. It's a patch to a law which by itself is wrong. It's a feel good solution to avoid the real discussion of why it's still illegal to do drugs.
