Bill
 
I feel this bill is a little ridiculous. People are going to abuse any drug, no one will stop them. Their are so many people who are allergic to the nalaxone, I know when I had to make the switch back it was very hard and I was sick for a very long time, and still am. I think passing this bill will cause the ones who really cannot handle the nalaxone to stop taking their medication and end up relapsing because they simply could not handle the affects they get from just the nalaxone. I feel this bill is putting those people at risk and is just going to cause more problems. Its already hard enough to get the medicine we need. And this is making it harder. I hope that you consider our petition. And help save lives.
