The main purpose of the vending machines is to curb overdoses across the city by increasing the availability of naloxone, a drug that works to quickly reverse the effects of an opioid overdose.

The local first responders here will not administer naloxone unless law enforcement is present. The overdosed person will sometimes respond violently when brought down from his high

vending machines take credit card, quarters or free?

[Veggie Todd]

Or they could just say, No.

[ealgeone]

Whatcha bet in about two months these machines are all busted up and the contents stolen.

San Francisco will have vending machines selling Ex Lax.

looks like they will require a permit or not. a little confusing.

Notice how casually the Slimes is reporting on this, as if it's just normal to do this.

Has anyone noticed the complete breakdown in quality of life and basic services in big cities? All the normal things like trash collection, loitering, and maintaining public safety has completely gone out the window.

Yes, but if you’re overdosing, do you really have the time to steal and sell off enough stuff to be able to buy what’s in the vending machines?

[DoughtyOne]

Is, “Thin the herd”, not an operational option?

Just asking for a friend.

"The local first responders here will not administer naloxone unless law enforcement is present."

Why not send social workers instead? Neither are medically qualified anyway.

Jesus needs to come back real soon.

[jacknhoo]

Oh how compassionate the Leftists are, eh. Makes them feel good about themselves, the lie that they’re compassionate.

[EinNYC]

From what I heard, insane morons running NYC are also going to supply vending machines dispensing clean needles and other drug paraphernalia—making the city into an enabler to kill yourself AND OTHERS. So they want to work both sides of the coin and offer naloxone to counteract the evil of their other machines. Sick, sick, sick!

[gitmo]

Better yet, Ivermectin and HCQ.

[Allegra]

They’ve really gone completely ‘round the bend up there.

I’m so grateful I visited NYC several times when it was a fun and dynamic city.

The left has managed to destroy what was once one of the world’s most vibrant, energetic places.

[Salman]

The real story not covered: Who has the contract for putting in the machines and how much are they being paid for them?

I grew up in NYC and that was my first thought.

[Born to Conserve]

Some people, once addicted, will be a horrendous burden on their family and community until they die from suicide or overdose. The vending machines should dispense hot doses — speed up the process.

[Scrambler Bob]

“public health vending machines” that would dispense sterile syringes, an anti-overdose medication and other “harm reduction” supplies
= = =

Will they take an EBT card?

[BansheeBill]

Narcan costs approximately $90.00 per dose.

[JimRed]

Who’s going to put in the credit/debit card for the dying druggie?
