Martin O'Malley

If he really gives a shit about preventing things like overdoses, he needs to work toward ending the drug war,. period. Most people overdose because they get a hot shot, something that wouldn't happen with regulated drugs at known potency.

As for the people who have had accidental near misses with prescription drugs, send them home with Narcan in case it happens again. O'Malley sounds like he wants to put them through rehab and leave them in pain, not an option since untreated pain is fatal.

In any case, he's chasing a gnat with a Howitzer. Yes, some people overdose on drugs every year. Is it as crisis? Hardly. If he really cares about preventable deaths, he needs to focus on all the fucking guns out there and how to get them out of the hands of swaggering morons with hair trigger tempers--including the ones in uniforms.
