    We should always strive to avoid preventable causes of death, and one way to do that is to be prepared with #naloxone in the event of an opioid overdose. #GetNaloxone and know how to use it.

        #Kratom needs to be kept legal, and available for the millions of Americans using it for their increased quality of life. It has been proven safe. Many have stopped using opioids altogether because of it. Because they could. #Kratomsaveslives every day. #Iamkratom

        You know what else is Preventable, #suicideduetopain & death due to health/heart problems from uncontrolled pain. Help CPP get the pain meds that help them Live & have QOL. CPP are still being harmed bc of CDC "guidelines", causing Foreseeable, dangerous consequences.

        How about being unable to afford medical care, period? How about affordable insulin?

        Because all of us medical patients are overdosing taking our meds as prescribed? or being gas lighted by the Surgeon General?

        Naloxone should not be $100 to purchase at the pharmacy. As a NP who deals with addiction every day I would love to carry it. Subsidize the cost.

        We continue to work on getting this product into the hands of all private citizens and first responders here in Georgia and Alabama. The Chandler Project was established to help prevent deaths such as my nephews and make people aware of this life saving product.

        @VernonJonesUSA1 helped #keepkratomlegal in Georgia when they passed the #KCPA (Kratom Consumer Protection Act). Thank you Mr Jones! Alabama banned #kratom outright. They never even looked at the science. Can you also help educate the lawmakers in Alabama? #Kratomsaveslives

        so to save people who use illicitly we have to throw 50 million pain patients under the bus. Put them at risk of of going to the streets so we can save them too.
