Do you keep narcan around?

[Anonymous]

Not because I have a kid but because of my job.

I was thinking of keeping it in each car's glove compartment.
My kids are typical "good" high schoolers but they do go out on the weekends.

Don't keep it in the car- heat is not good for it. I keep some in my purse at all times and we also have it in our master bathroom just in case.

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

+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

Wow - so let me understand this: if you are at a school-wide event (and fentanyl IS in your kids’ school; don’t deluxe yourself), and some kid passes out from a probably fentanyl episode, the response you would show your children is to just step over the body, and announce:

“sucks to be you. Guess you’ll have to die; this looks like a ‘you problem.’ See what a great parent I am, kids? let’s go now, bye.”

You are not just a horrible parent, PP; you are truly a disgusting human being. How do you live with yourself?

Sorry, but I’m not giving a someone’s kid narcan for passing out of unknown causes. You want to take that liability, go for it.

My neighbors' and I have it. We see it as a community service, nothing more or less.

There are so many obviously intoxicated people wandering around that you never know when it may be needed. It doesn't hurt anything or anyone to have it handy, but it may save a life.

Easily. Sorry but no I’m not giving your kid narcan. Insult me all you want.

Thanks to PP who carry it. My 19 year old nephew OD'd and died from fentanyl and it was by all accounts the first time he tried it. And maybe he didn't actually know exactly what he was doing, like maybe laced pot? Details are hazy. But he was a good kid. It was given to him by an older relative's significant other, not at a party, not by a peer.

The issue is not just giving a child-victim of fentanyl some narcan. And it isn’t just liability.

It is your smug disregard for human life (especially the lives of teens), and revolting superiority complex, combined with major denial about an epidemic affecting our society (including your kids school).

No need for me to insult you. You are clearly too dumb to understand the issues here. The real insult is the existence of you and people like you in the DMV.

Kids, including toddlers, have died from accidental fentanyl exposure. This includes kids whose parents do not use. I think it's a good idea to have narcan around.

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.
