Check out this new blog post from staff attorney Ashleigh Dennis, where she discusses the supreme idiocy of one-for-one exchange, still the law in some states. networkforphl.org/news-insights/…
One of our most popular documents - our comprehensive 50 state survey of naloxone access, overdose Good Sam, drug checking, and safer use supplies laws - has been updated! Check it out at networkforphl.org/resources/harm…
In case you missed it (or want to see it again!), the full recording and slides of our 2024 harm reduction laws update webinar are now available on our website: networkforphl.org/resources/harm…
We were honored to attend the Compassionate Overdose Response Summit & Naloxone Dosing Meeting in Pittsburgh earlier this week with many of our friends and allies in the harm reduction community. If you have questions about naloxone access laws in your state, send us an email!
While we're always happy to talk to lawyers, we're mostly here for you - non-lawyers trying to navigate and change law that seems designed to hurt you, your friends, clients, colleagues, etc. Don't hesitate to reach out - we're fluent in normal human! :)
Many harm reduction folks (incl. @scottburrisphlr @RNBluthenthal @stephenHRNRP @nabarund @HavenWheelock @AlexanderWalley @TracieMGardner @Raaginizzle) will be presenting at this first of its kind National Academies meeting. Consider dropping by if you can!

In 2023 we responded to 166 requests for technical assistance from 38 states and Washington D.C. and reached over 900 people through presentations and webinars. We’d like to help you, too! Please send us an email or fill out the form on our website. We’re here for you!
With the implosion of the TA Center, we wanted to assure everyone who found out about us through that previously great resource that we're still here and as strong as ever. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any HR-related legal/policy questions. We're always happy to help!
Laws that criminalize the possession and distribution of safer use supplies are one of the most indefensible and harmful manifestations of the "War on Drugs". Minnesota recently repealed its paraphernalia laws, serving as a model for other states. networkforphl.org/news-insights/…
States continue to make changes to their naloxone access laws - mostly for the better. We have all the latest information in our 2023 update, available here networkforphl.org/resources/lega…
There have been dramatic changes in state laws regarding drug checking equipment in the past few years. We have all the latest information in our updated fact sheet here: networkforphl.org/resources/lega…
As of January 1, 2023, 18 states had enacted laws that require some medical professionals to prescribe, offer a prescription for, or dispense naloxone to some individuals under their care. This new resources provides information on each of these req's. networkforphl.org/resources/nalo…
"The Network for Public Health Law (NPHL) warned that because some states don’t require coverage of Narcan, 'those who need it most may still not be able to afford it.'" forbes.com/sites/ariannaj…
The "War on Drugs" is a war on people. This blog post describes the case of one individual who, despite doing everything "right", is barred by federal law from practicing his profession. Repealing these harmful laws should be a priority. networkforphl.org/news-insights/…
While the details can get tricky, mandatory, confidential reporting of non-fatal overdoses to health authorities can improve knowledge and post-overdose response. This updated factsheet provides state-by-state data on such requirements as of March, 2023. networkforphl.org/resources/stat…
We've updated our 50 state review of overdose Good Samaritan laws. In general, these laws have become more numerous and provided more protection over time. Unfortunately, most continue to provide very limited carveouts to criminal laws. More info here: networkforphl.org/resources/lega…
MN recently legalized the possession and delivery of drug paraphernalia, as well as residual amounts contained within. This is great! Meanwhile, WA reversed a policy that had partially decriminalized drugs in the state. This is not good at all. More here: networkforphl.org/news-insights/…
A dozen states require private insurers to cover at least one formulation of naloxone or reduce barriers to access where it is covered. This factsheet provides information on these state mandates. networkforphl.org/resources/nalo…

#Michigan has 1,700+ localities and majority has some paraphernalia laws. Why it isn’t a priority when the state throws a little $ for us, but offer no protections for us nor our participants & the community to access tools to be healthy, is indefensible. #misapnow @MichiganDems
