Naloxone, sold under the brand name Narcan among others, is an opioid antagonist, a medication used to reverse or reduce the effects of opioids. For example, it is used to restore breathing after an opioid overdose. Effects begin within two minutes when given intravenously, five minutes when injected into a muscle, and ten minutes as a nasal spray. Naloxone blocks the effects of opioids for 30 to 90 minutes.
I don't think I entirely get the joke, or maybe it just isn't the Onion's best.
Right wingers see drug users as degenerates that deserve to die. Iirc they got angry when narcan was sold to normal people because it "encouraged" drug use.
Naloxone is used to keep people from dying of opiate overdose.
But it totally ruins your high and literally blocks off those receptors, so you feel like absolute shit afterwards. And can't get high on those receptors for a while.
Yeah the classic patient education as to why they can't be given more opiates when their POSS score is too high is that "if you think it hurts bad now, you do NOT wanna know what it's like to get narcanned."
I'm laughing, but there's really no guarantee this won't happen given RFK Jr.'s love of eugenics.
And heroin. His love of both eugenics and heroin.
Both him and Pete Hegseth
A lot of them.
he was addicted to heroin, it turned his brain to mush, much like cocaine and adderall turned trumps brain to mush.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly…
and I don't know why she swallowed the fly.

Thanks!
Same reason conservatives in my country opposing freely available condoms in youth events.
Also they really like heroin. Both generally and specifically.
also they are hypocrites, since right wingers are drug users themselves. heroin, meth, crack and maybe omezpic.
Narcan's used to try and stop ODs. Onion's implying our administration wants people to OD
