Not my kid’s problem.

It’s everyone’s problem..you must not have a teen. It’s a great way to have open communication. Too many opportunities for things to be spiked or laced and teens experiment. It may not be your kid but could be their friend or neighbor in the hall. Get out of your bubble and wake up. Not my kid. Sheesh.

+1 Even if you are 100% positive your child would never take recreational drugs, two kids died at Ohio State after taking fentanyl-laced Adderall pills. So ask yourself, are you absolutely confident your kid will never panic before a big test or lab, and buy some "study aids" to help? Because the very kids whose parents are sure they will never be in this position are often the ones so worried about failure that they will do anything to succeed.

Genuinely asking how Narcan would have helped in those cases because I looked it up and it sounds like they were found when it was too late.

Every couple of months someone posts a stupid Narcan thread.

They could get something slipped into their drink pp. It's not just people who "do drugs."

So attempted murder happens a lot everywhere? Because that is pretty messed up.

yep...we live in a pretty messed up world. Open your eyes!

I looked it up and it's not a thing. There are no great numbers/examples of drinks spiked with fentanyl...Thankfully! Young people who accidentally ingest a pill with fentanyl in them? Yes, that does happen.

True, but a third student was found in time during the same week and presumably the same batch of tainted Adderall. The point isn't that it would have saved those two kids, but rather that party drugs are not the only way someone could end up accidentally overdosing. As a result, it makes sense for even kids who would never do drugs recreationally to keep narcan on hand in case one of their peers makes a bad decision.

WTH I didn't know this was a thing... they are convincing you to buy it to make somebody rich

I live in Baltimore and got a free two pack of Narcan at the local library yesterday. Gonna stick it in my car. I probably will never use it, but I'd much rather have it and not need it than be in a situation where I could have saved a life but wasn't able to.

Young people are accidentally ingesting fentanyl? Then everyone definitely should carry narcan. You could save a child’s life.

Well there is only one way to have found out and that was if someone around them had narcan and used it.

I have high schoolers who are pretty terrified of drugs. I actually don't know who it appeals to. You can die from one time use! It's scary and not worth it. Some kids at school definitely vape and do pot. Not that.

It appeals to the kids of the “cool moms” who keep their homes well stocked with Narcan, condoms, and Plan B.

Do you also require your kids without allergies to carry an Epipen with them wherever they go?

Narcan saves lives. There is zero downside to administering it if an OD has not occurred.

Everyone should have it available and pray the never need it.

United covered it for free.

Yeah none of my kids would have ever been to a party like that.

My kids are 1 and 4 and I have Narcan at home. You know why? Because I care about people.

EPI pen is more likely to get used.
