Teach "Good Samaritan" policy to our children

NewsLanc.com's most recent editorial, "Three Part Tragedy", bowled me over. I had no idea that there exists a "Good Samaritan" policy related to reporting drug overdoses.

Please continue to work to ensure that this policy is taught to our children. And thank you for being a powerful voice of reason in this "War on Drugs" environment.

Editor's note: That has been our understanding but we can give no assurance. Part of the tragedy of treating illegal drugs as a criminal justice rather than a public health matter is that medical authorities are inhibited about speaking out. The result is unnecessary but all too common deaths from over doses.
