This time it happened in Louisville, Kentucky, where Louisville Metro Emergency Services responded to 52 overdose calls between midnight Wednesday and 8 a.m. ET Friday, said agency spokesman Mitchell Burmeister.

That was a big jump over the 25 overdose calls received in the same 32-hour time frame last week.

A breakdown of overdose causes was not available, but Burmeister said most of those calls were heroin overdoses. Paramedics also dealt with overdoses of alcohol, prescription medications and other controlled substances.

It's too bad the war on drugs doesn't target the people that actually use dangerous drugs. Heroin, alcohol, and pills don't sound like hood things. So many resources wasted on people that clearly don't want to live.

Sounds like a problem that is resolving itself.

The gene pool can only improve.

Nobody forced them to indulge in that monumental stupidity.

Let Darwin have the win. It will benefit the rest of us.

Hell, we had 130 overdoses last month in our town of 60,000. My hospital's ED ran out of Narcan at one point. I hate to say it, but when we have people getting Narcaned out of an OD, only to OD again a few hours later, I sometimes wonder if that's a bad thing.

If Mr. Darwin could have only copyrighted or maybe patented his theories, the estate would be worth billions if not trillions by now.

Hopefully as a wake up call to acknowledge drug and alcohol abuse as a public health issue and eliminate this police state we've created by treating it as a law enforcement issue.

Like there needs to be a wake up call? Unless you've been living under a rock, it's no secret illegal drugs are rampant almost everywhere.
