Aren't Republicans now trying to cut the free Naloxone programs now?

if harris won, they'd be celebrating how many people would get healthcare and such. Instead, trump won and they're celebrating how many people they can kill. The two sides are not the same.

Ah, I remember when this was satire and not simple truth.

They've always been evil-ish, but they didn't used to be straight-up Nazis.

[–] XTL@sopuli.xyz 1 points 9 months ago

They used to. They were just quieter. This is a slow ramp up.

So, this happened under the Biden administration?

Someone please remind me why the orange shitstain keeps blaming stuff on Biden...

We're well over a decade into the post-truth era by now. It should come as no surprise that reality has absolutely zero influence on people and their opinions.

Narcissistic personality disorder, mostly.

And this year the number will double!

Well that’s about to shoot right back up

Then he'll be back onto invading Mexico, and war with the Cartels

Calm before the storm.

Although we probably won't know how bad it gets because our government will probably stop tracking stats so everyone thinks everything is fine.

Mark my words on that one.

Also of note, 2024 was the year legalized weed went into effect in Ohio.

Does cause equal corralation? Maybe not. But let's also maybe do a report on where opiotes usage went in 2024 in Ohio.

I think there was another state that legalized in 2024 too.

This was a very short term study at the time, but Colorado saw some 6%, or .7 deaths per month, reduction from time of legalization in 2014 to the end of 2015. Would love to see a longer term study.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Wait.....so, they had 30 deaths TOTAL in the year 2000?

Damn. I'm fairly sure Ohio in 2015 was in the thousands.

Nobody has money for drugs

It’s not really uplifting though because this will immediately reverse

"Good things can't be good because they could be bad"

[–] XTL@sopuli.xyz 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I'd say it's uplifting, but not really news.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Hell, that improvement probably got wiped out in Trump's first month.

[–] middlemanSI@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Americans have historicaly had problems buying drugs. It's just a slump (pun intended) in economy. America will be great any day now..

[–] GlassHalfHopeful@lemmy.ca -1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

As you can see, Trump is saving the United States.

😏
