Oh wow.
Our definitions are very different.
To me “good” assumes a basic expectation that you’re obeying the law.
Narcan is to counteract an opioid overdose. This is “going out on the weekends” for “good” kids??
What you described sounds like “risky” high schoolers.
Maybe my standards are just too high.

But that said, it sounds like you know your kids. So if you think you have a need to have Narcan in your cars, better safe than sorry.

+1 Even if my kids had it on hand only to revive other people, I would question why my "good" kids were regularly in proximity of people who abuse opioids. What new-fangled definition of "good" is this?

We do have a lot of DCUM posters, likely trolls, who always post things to the effect that all kids past the age of 11 are having sex, drinking and doing drugs and anyone who thinks their 11+ yo kid is not doing any of that is naive. OP is probably one of those, yet again.

+1 my kids aren’t going to be administering Narcan to anyone. They would have no idea if it was medically necessary. Leave that to real doctors please.

According to the training I took on how to administer Narcan, if the person you use it on has not taken an opiate it will not work nor do any harm.

This is correct. It won't. There's no danger or liability issue.

It doesn't matter. It is not my responsiblity. I will call 911 but, not do much more

It’s too bad there is no Hell.

Do you keep an AED and epipen both on you at all times and in your house?

No. An AED is big (unlike Narcan). Epipens are expensive and Rx-only (unlike Narcan). Having Narcan in my bag costs me nothing—not even opportunity cost in terms of space in my backpack. It’s tiny.

(I notice you didn’t ask about fire extinguishers. We have them on each floor of the house and in both cars.)

I think parents who think only bad kids do drugs or that an overdose can happen only to kids who willingly do drugs ate extreme naive.

Fentanyl can be found anywhere.

Wasn’t there a police officer who accidentally overdose on the stuff after grabbing a handful of what he thought was MM’s during a raid?

Even if your kid thinks he is just vaping, it can be laced with fentanyl.

Who would do that? Some seriously dumb cop. Buy your candy at a store!

+1 why would a cop eat candy from a raid? Doesn’t sound too bright.

Maybe it shouldn’t be so surprising that there is such a high rate of teen overdose death, if this is the mentality of the people raising teens today.

Ugh.

Ugh.

You can’t use narcan on a dead person or someone in cardiac arrest. Once you stop breathing, you have a few minutes before cardiac arrest. At that point, narcan isn’t helpful. Narcan is only helpful when someone is still breathing and heart is still beating. Think about where kids are doing drugs? Either at home in the basement at 3am or somewhere their parents (or someone else’s aren’t)

Perhaps that's true for some teens, but it's not true for a lot of people who are deep in their addiction.

That was such a passive aggressive response.

I’m a nurse. And so many of you are so arrogant. Teenagers-even well raised ones-can make some really dumb decisions. These kids overdosing are not shooting up heroin in the bathroom. They can try something once and die. Do I talk to my kids about it? Yes. Are they responsible kids and straight A students? Yup. Do they hang out with other nerdy kids from great families? Indeed. But I will never say never my kids. Bc it can happen to anyone.
