So you would be protected, but that wouldn't matter. It's more like if you're shooting up with your friend and your friend overdoses and you have a bunch of heroin or fentanyl on you, you can't be prosecuted for having that.

Yeah, but let's talk a little bit about overdoses because there's some โ one of the telltale signs, I think it's not just with fentanyl but with heroin as well or opioids in general, is it can produce fluid in the lungs so that a telltale sign of an overdose is froth around the mouth or in the nose. Once that happens, you need to act pretty quickly.

Yeah. And it's even worse than that, actually, because there's also opioid receptors in the parts of your brain that control voluntary breathing. So like when you're like, I need to catch my breath and you take a deep breath or if you're meditating when you purposefully breathe, that is repressed as well.
