Homelessness is a problem in San Francisco. Weaponizing Narcan is not a solution.
The Department of Public Health also condemned the use of Narcan on people who aren’t overdosing.
“Individuals should administer naloxone if they recognize that someone is experiencing an overdose,” the department said in a statement. “However, misusing this essential tool to intentionally cause pain or distress is inhumane.”
Health experts are horrified, and so am I.
