Governor Deval Patrick declared a public health emergency Thursday to combat the growing abuse of opiates, directing that all the state’s police, firefighters, and other emergency personnel be equipped with a drug that can quickly reverse heroin overdoses.
“Heroin today is cheap and highly potent,” Patrick said. “We have right now an opiate epidemic.”
Using his emergency powers, Patrick told the Department of Public Health to make Narcan available immediately to all first responders, as well as more accessible to families and friends of drug abusers. Narcan, the brand name for naloxone, halts overdoses almost instantly.

As per usual these Idiot Liberals looking to fix a problem by causing an even worse problem...Prepare for the coming Zombie Apocalypses :)..nice work Liberal Dopes.
