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.

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.

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

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.

Don't leave it in your car. It's temperature sensitive and could become ineffective if stored in a hot car all summer. Keep it in your purse if you can.

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.

ah teens they are so innocent and don't experiment with sex, alcohol..keep living the dream in your bubble

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

PP must be sarcastic. fentanyl can be in anything nowadays… ahem, especially drugs that men try to slip into girls’ women’s drinks.

Uh no. Because those with allergies carry it themselves, dingbat.

An EpiPen is Rx only, yes?

Yes, so completely not comparable.

DP. Sure, but maybe they forgot. And people can develop an allergy at any time. It’s fine if you want to carry narcan, but it’s not logically different from carrying an EpiPen or inhaler “just in case.”

I do not think this word means what you think it means

+1. Not sure I would want my kid involved TBH

+1,000 my kid is not going to be responsible for using Narcan on some random drugged up person.

This is my husband's position. I took the training offered by the county and got the Narcan. Our teen has heard both arguments and will have to decide for himself what he'll do if faced with the situation.

Is it not dangerous to even come into contact with fentanyl while rendering aid?

No. Cops have anxiety attacks just like everyone else.

Exactly my thoughts. Is your DC planning on moving to a ghetto or a place like West Virginia?

“Ghetto” is not commonly used around here since the 80s, Vlad.

More than one kid has OD’d at B-CC HS *this year.*

I live in a very affluent DC suburb, your ignorance is shocking. I work at a organization that supports and acts as extension of social services bridging the gap between private and public services. I have used narcan on 6 people this year, one person 3 doses at work and once while shopping at Target outside of work. My kid doesn't use drugs, he is a member of society and this is a mass societal issue not a limited to one socio economic subset.
