Middletown Narcan Three-Strike Proposal, Junkie Literature
Middletown, Ohio, is considering a "three-strike" policy for opioid overdoses to manage the rising costs of Narcan and emergency services. The hosts also recommend the book "Junkie" by William S. Burroughs, which discusses historical drug treatments like apomorphine.
Protests erupt in Jordan over rising fuel prices and government corruption, with demonstrators calling for the fall of the regime. The hosts discuss King Abdullah II's lineage and the use of U.S.-supplied non-lethal weapons against protesters. A tangent explains the origin of the band name "Steely Dan" from a William S. Burroughs novel.
Buprenorphine Implants, Heroin Addiction, William Burroughs
A new medical implant releasing Buprenorphine over 24 weeks is being marketed to treat heroin and opiate addiction. The drug is a semi-synthetic opioid derivative used for pain relief and withdrawal management. The discussion references William Burroughs' novel "Junkie" and his advocacy for apomorphine as a superior, though less commercially viable, addiction treatment.
