Narcan Weaponized

 I always thought NARCAN was a 'dream drug'.  Someone is overdosing and you use it and you can bring them back from near death.  Used it on one guy...well we had to use several doses of it...and I was shocked to see him come back.  Thought for sure he was dead right there.  The aftermath was a bit shocking.  Dude recovered and the first thing out of his mouth was that we "fucked up the high he was looking for".  Amazing shit.  

What I didn't know is that NARCAN could be weaponized.  Check out this passage from Zero Hedge.

The San Francisco Standard, in a report shared by ABC7 News, details how some residents frustrated with open drug use are allegedly using Narcan not to save lives, but to inflict harm.

"A couple of instances I heard was someone was sleeping in U.N. Plaza and they basically felt somebody putting this plastic nozzle up their nose and then they woke up to crazy withdrawals and the person was telling them that they couldn't sleep in the plaza," said SF Standard reporter David Sjoestedt. "And, the allegation is that this wasn't somebody who thought they were overdosing, it was somebody who wanted them to move."

But this is the kicker and I didn't know that it could be used to cause harm if you're not loaded to the gills...

 Sjoestedt explained that Narcan can trigger immediate and severe withdrawal symptoms: “a lot of pain, anxiety, throwing up, and wild temperature fluctuations.” A UCSF health expert told the SF Standard that misusing the drug in this way should be considered assault.

Crazy as hell huh?  Read the whole thing here.
