I think this bill is a good idea because it can help save lives. If someone is experiencing an overdose, they should be able to seek medical help without fear of being prosecuted for drug possession. This bill could encourage more people to call for help in these situations, which could ultimately prevent unnecessary deaths. I support this bill and believe it is a step in the right direction for addressing drug-related issues in our country.
