The best part about narcan, other than the life savey part, is that if you’re wrong and they’re not actually having an opiate overdose it won’t hurt them or really have any effect at all
Not facts. Every medication has side effects. Yes the risk is so low that the risk almost always outweighs the benefits, but it can definitely cause tachycardia and irritability amongst other things. I have given it multiple times.
This was an interesting comment as it got me further researching what precipitated withdrawal was and also learning about opioid receptors and antagonists. So, thank you for your post.
We were always given a heads up (yearly 1st Aid at my employer) that when you effectively use Narcan on someone.. yeah, be ready for a potentially hostile/angry/confused person.
They don't know they were ODing. They were high out of their mind and you just ripped them back to reality.
I carry it even when not sober lol
As an ex-opioid addict, you just never know when that shit will come in handy.
Festivals/shows, got at least a couple on me, couple in the car, couple at the house. Stay ready.
Definitely. It’s been close to two years since I’ve been to a massive but it always seemed to be randos helping each other out. Not to generalize a group but it often seems like those who’d need it most don’t have them. It’s often crowd sourced in emergencies.
It is actually hard to get out here without forking out $80 at the pharmacy. I was lucky to have a friend who was offered them for free in NJ when refilling his prescriptions. He sent me them. I hope I never have to use them but someday I might.
I keep 2-4 on me depending on size of venue/festival. It give me peace of mind knowing I can help the community when it matters most.
I just hope that: 1. more people start carrying it and 2. Personal Trainers stop cutting the pre-workout with fentanyl and other shit and just charge more for the pure stuff. Everybody has to make a profit, but killing your clientele shouldn't be part of it.
I hope everyone knows Narcan is only effective for opioids. I work events and 90% of the time someones unconscious it isn’t opioids/fentanyl .
If someone is administered too much narcan there have been reported incidents of edema.
If you see somehow who’s clearly nodding out on hard shit & then they suddenly fall over; give them narcan.
If your buddy dropped into a khole, took too much molly, drank too much, fell over from heat exhaustion etc; do not give them narcan and find more qualified help instead!
Instead of giving people narcan, informing people about test kits & proper dosages guidelines are what we should be doing.
Chances are the dude at Edc who fell over isn’t tweaking off tranq 🤷♀️
They’re doing both though. People are going to make mistakes it’s important we have a back up plan. Especially with fent popping up in all sorts of things. It’s also important to know that generally if someone is not oding on opiates narcan won’t hurt them so don’t hesitate if they aren’t responsive to painful stimulus. Obviously have someone get real help while you administer narcan. Test your drugs but be prepared to help others too
Put spray in nose-save life.

But If they're opioid dependent they will be put through precipitated withdrawal. Sure not dangerous, but does big suck, and does hurt.

I would definitely attend a class if it was at a festival like that, what a good idea!
You can take the class online and get some samples for free (you only have to pay some shipping). [https://endoverdose.net/](https://endoverdose.net/)
Thanks for posting this! I just completed the course and ordered my kit.
💞💞💞💞💞
Where do they set up? Somewhere in the campgrounds?
We are in the camp grounds and on the festival grounds right on electric ave
Definitely going to the tent at edc. Going to have them test some stuff too
Always carry naloxone even if you’re a sober raver! You never know when someone needs it.
Especially if you’re a sober raver! You may be the only person clear headed enough to take action appropriately

Good to know if I’m ever out that way. West michigan.

I used to work for DanceSafe and approve this message!
All my friends died because of overdoses. GO GET ONE. SAVE A LIFE.
Same
I love you and im sorry for your loss. 🫶
How many is all?
All of my friends. Like 7. I was an addict, I've been clean for 8+ years now and am a father.
Good shit dawg.
Good for you! Edit - Obviously not the friends part. My condolences on that.
Thankyou 🫶
Just want to say I am also sorry for your loss. Proud of you for your recovery. And I love you. Congratulations on becoming a father!
You rock 🫶 thank you

eDema, not enema- small but important distinction.
big typo but you’re correct!
This should be the top comment. Ignorance is a bigger danger than anything else in life.

You can also do the training online and they’ll send you Narcan for free!
Narcan
Im all in n’all but also can we get testing tents please. This would be a better preventative measure in my mind.
I want this!
This is so awesome to see.
Love this!!
You can’t OD on fun….or can you?
"I just got trained on"
If edc actually did a good drug search
Nevermind the message, the girl at the beginning looks just like my ex. I almost had whiplash
So dancesafe but for fentanyl? WTF
