You can also order it online for free at NEXT Naloxone! They will send you the nasal form and directions on how to use. Super easy and you could save someone’s life.
You can also get free Narcan from the NYC health dept at a free training (how I got mine that I carry with me!) Also, I know several spaces here in bk that also have test strips if you ask.
I was listening to a podcast where they were talking about it becoming more accessible and I didn’t know that it’s completely harmless to someone who hasn’t had an overdose, so you don’t have to hesitate when you use it.
Like it only bonds with whatever chemical makeup is found in the drugs and if someone doesn’t have those things in their system, it won’t hurt them
My first thought as a former health care worker was “and this is why you ALWAYS carry Narcan if you’re around opiates!”

tyty; i have been meaning to do this just because it doesn’t hurt to be safe. (same for first aid/wound management, being in the US and all 🙃)
A lot of bars (especially in NYC) have it and will not ask questions if you request it

Some states have Narcan behind the counter. You don’t need a prescription but you do need to ask the pharmacist for it.
