the junkies are often armed and dangerous

New Yorkers told to carry narcan with them when out on the street so that they can revive OD’d addicts.

Health Commissioner Ashwin Vasan: “Everyone should carry naloxone, get trained to use it, and to recognize the signs of overdose,” he said. 

Leaving aside the fact that narcan is ineffective on the current drug of choice, xylazine, or “tranq”, why would any sane person approach a twitching zombie and attempt to spray a good whiff of narcan up his nose? New Yorkers aren’t idiots, but the people running the city are.
