Great to this publication. Especially given the efforts of people who consume drugs to use naloxone as gently and carefully as possible. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Honored to have been part of this convening and the resultant paper with all of these amazing people. There is no need for high dose naloxone products. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
