Do you keep narcan around?

[Anonymous]

I keep it in case one of my kids’ friends needs it. My kids are open with me and I am fairly certain they don’t do drugs…but I’d rather be safe than sorry.

+1 I will never have Narcan handy in my house.

Yeah…I don’t get it.

I suppose if my child had a known problem with drug problem we were working on I would. But otherwise no

It only takes one time. Glad you’re so high and mighty that you’d rather your kid die after mistakenly overdosing or taking something unknowingly cut with fentanyl because you think you’re above keeping something in the house just in case.

You haven’t done your job as a parent if they do drugs. Even one time. That’s a fail on your part.

You're either an idiot or completely naive.

Anyway, I have narcan in my powder room and I have purse narcan though I don't always take it with me (depends which bag I'm carrying).

I used narcan once on a man who passed out on the street. I'm glad I had it on hand. It's not just for teenagers!

Nay kids are adults now and never touched a drug in their life. Sorry you suck as a parent. I don’t

The parent who needs to make decisions to not be prepared to save anyone to communicate to their kids not to do drugs is the one who sucks.

My kids (and probably PP’s who you quoted) are smart enough and connected to their parents enough to understand that my carrying narcan isn’t permission to do drugs. Sorry you can’t say the same.

We keep narcan in the basement bathrooom, in all give compartments in cars (other than summer so far), in kids’ backpacks and my daughter has it in her small purse she brings to parties. Neither of our kids (nor my husband nor I) has ever taken any drug. While it would be naïve to say, I can be a sure nobody in my family would ever need to receive Narcan, the reason we have it readily available is simply, because we want to be able to help others quickly and effectively. We live in DC close to a commercial area, and are regularly around at least a few people who are either intoxicated, or on some kind of drug. My office is downtown and I regularly am walking by and sometimes through a park also with people who are frequently clearly using drugs.

And, each of my kids has been at at least one party where a kid, usually in isolation or with a few others, is clearly drugged up or quite highly intoxicated. What my kids have told me is that it takes some time for the party and kids to realize what is happening, then talk and think about the situation, and then finally go to the parents if any are at the house. Then parents take a while to come downstairs and assess the situation. That delay result in minutes that can make a big difference in saving a life. I see carrying Narcan simply as a public health medication measure. And, if anything, my kids, learning about it, how to use it, and, watching trainings on the aftermath of fentanyl, would make them all the less likely to even think of trying it. Neither they nor I ever want to be in a position where we could have easily saved a life and failed to do so.

Sorry I’m not saving a random stranger who decides to do drugs. Not my problem.

We have it in our house, and I have thought about carrying it around. The tiny amount of fentanyl that can kill someone is terrifying. Even if your kid and your kids friends, and your kid’s friends have never touched a drug, drinks and food can be spiked.

I have some suspicion that one of my son’s friends has or will likely try drugs. I may be wrong, but I would rather be fully prepared just in case.

Thank China.

China has nearly no domestic fentanyl problem.

China produces nearly all the fentanyl smuggled into the U.S.

To be more specific, thank the Biden administration for the open borders that is making this a cakewalk for China.

I have it in our linen closet where we keep all medicines and first aid supplies. My kids are in middle school but you never know.

[Anonymous]

Wow, some of you are terrible parents.

You think that having Narcan in your house will encourage your kid to do drugs?

How about you start having open and frank conversations with your kids.

If your kids are hanging out with friends who do drugs, you have a bigger problem than a need for narcan.

No one is this dumb. You think the opioid epidemic started under Biden?

No precious. But there is no doubt that the FENTANYL CRiSiS accelerated immeasurably DURING the Biden administration, and due to open borders policy.

Own it.

You clearly have no idea how fentanyl works.
