BREAKING: Scientists and Policy Experts Barred From “Good Drug Policy Summit” in Washington, D.C.
Coalition (including SSDP) pushes back on FDA distortions on kratom-derived 7-OH in a letter addressed to the House Judiciary Committee consumerchoicecenter.org/coalition-pu...
“I’ve had the privilege of reversing five overdoses using naloxone,” said Taylor Puch, another director at SSDP. “If we didn’t have that, those five people would be gone. Those five families would be impacted. And those impacts have ripple effects.”
One of the supplies IHRRC and SSDP obtain from their partner organizations is naloxone, or Narcan, a synthetic drug that can reverse opioid overdoses. Federal funds let groups like the Chicago Recovery Alliance purchase Narcan, which they then distribute to organizations including the IHRRC and SSDP
“Funding changes are impacting a lot of our partner organizations and the organizations that we source our harm reduction supplies from,” Jeanne Porges, a director at SSDP, said at the event. “They’ve recently lost a lot of their funding, and they’ve had to lay off a bunch of staff.”
While Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP) does not receive federal funding, they work with many organizations that do. chicagomaroon.com/49825/news/l...
