Maine Widens Access to Overdose Reversal Drug Naloxone
Lawmakers override governor’s veto to make naloxone more available

Maine lawmakers on Friday overrode a veto from Republican Gov. Paul LePageto make an opioid and heroin overdose-reversal drug more available through local pharmacies.
The state reported a record 272 drug-overdose deaths last year, up 31% from 2014.
The Maine law, which mirrors policies in more than half the U.S. states, allows pharmacists to dispense the drug naloxone to eligible individuals, including the friends and family of drug users. Naloxone works by displacing opioids from their receptors in the brain, rousing people at risk of dying from an overdose as their breathing slows dramatically.
Public health officials and first responders around the U.S. are embracing naloxone, sometimes known by the brand name Narcan, as a tool in the fight against a worsening opioid epidemic, citing evidence that it saves lives.
But Mr. LePage has long expressed reservations about naloxone, stating his worries the drug could create a safety net that emboldens addicts. He vetoed the legislation earlier this month.
“Creating a situation where an addict has a heroin needle in one hand and a shot of naloxone in the other produces a sense of normalcy and security around heroin use that serves only to perpetuate the cycle of addiction,” Mr. LePage said in an April 20 veto message.
But treatment experts reject the notion naloxone is an enabling drug, and say curbing access could put lives at risk.
“The idea behind Narcan is you need to live another day in order to get yourself into recovery,” said Hilary Jacobs, vice president of addiction treatment at Lahey Health Behavioral Services in Massachusetts. “Death is not an appropriate consequence for having a disease."
Naloxone has long been a tool for first responders, but states are increasingly putting it in the hands of everyday people who may witness an overdose first, before an ambulance arrives. A report last June from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported a 187% increase in the number of naloxone kits provided to laypersons between 2010 and 2014, and said organizations handing out the kits reported 26,463 reversals between 1996 and mid-2014.
James Madara, chief executive at the American Medical Association, wrote Maine House Speaker Mark Eves on Monday urging a veto override. “Nearly every state in the nation has moved to increase access to naloxone in these ways because they have recognized—not only the importance of increasing naloxone access—but the science that shows that increasing access to naloxone saves lives,” Dr. Madara said.
The Maine House voted 132-14 to override the veto, while the Senate voted 29-5.

The epidemic is not just in Maine of course.
Having just been in an ER in L.A., I saw two youths (early 20's white kids) admitted for drug-overdose in the hour that I was there (predominantly white suburb).
'Synthetic marijuana' deaths and ER admissions in L.A. are at epidemic proportions, yet CA liberal politicians are in favor of legalizing drugs...some propose to 'loosen' cocaine laws and reduce prison sentences. Yeah! That will win votes in drug infested Calif.
Yeah...the usual 'pot head' answer to this would be to 'legalize' drugs wouldn't it?
Perhaps that is the answer to thining the voters registration rolls, welfare rolls, Black Lies Matter rolls, and Trump/Hillary/Sanders rolls. Am I missing groups?
.
Ah yes the victims rolls.
.
Free clean needles and syringes now!
I think Le Page, who I like, is wrong here. His concern of creating an illusion certainly has academic appeal but I doubt many people get hooked because they know they've got Narcan in their hip pocket.
Principled conservatives generally believe, rightly, that government should not be an impediment between private citizens and a drug with proven efficacy.
@John Rogitz he's not saying they get hooked because of it. he's saying it doesn't break the cycle. so here's how it goes at the hospital where I worked in Chicago. Pt takes heroin after they get their government support once a month. They then come in for treatment bc we the govenment allows them and they can't be turned away. They get their benzo script with vitamin prescriptions. Then they go home use again, never take their vitamins that are now depleted from their system. Sell the benzos or overdose on them. If they survive the next month the cycle repeats itself. Happens everyday...the governor was right in this case.
