Local Initiatives to Curb Substance Abuse
In March 2023, the FDA approved a 4mg naloxone nasal spray for over-the-counter sale, making it the first such naloxone product. The approval aims to make this life-saving drug accessible in places like drug stores, convenience stores, and online. The transition of Narcan from prescription to OTC status may take months, during which the FDA will work to ensure naloxone's continued availability.
Employment-Related Drug Policies
Massachusetts companies face specific regulations regarding drug testing, especially concerning marijuana.

Local Drug Busts or Events
In Boston, a major drug bust led to the arrest of three men for operating a large-scale drug trafficking organization on the North Shore, with an estimated 10 million doses of controlled substances, including fentanyl and methamphetamine, seized. The seized drugs, with a street value of over $8 million, included significant quantities of fentanyl-laced pills designed to resemble candy.
On November 1, 2023, authorities searched four sites. These operations led to the discovery of what's considered one of the most substantial seizures of fentanyl and methamphetamine at a single location in both Massachusetts and the broader region, totaling over 100 kilograms (220 pounds) of substances. Included in this seizure were nine kilograms (20 pounds) of pink, heart-shaped pills infused with fentanyl, crafted to mimic candy.
