To answer your original question, yes I do.

Next thing you know all these idiots will be carrying Narcan and then young infants and toddlers will accidentally ingest them. Or teens will use it as an excuse to get high in the house because hey, we have Narcan right here in the house. Hell no.

If they started making epipens free without a prescription, I'd keep one in my purse too!
I wouldn’t. For one thing I’m not assuming the liability of being a walking pharmacy.

My kids are 18 and 13 and no, I do not plan on having Narcan in my house or car. My kids are not interested in trying drugs, and have a genetic intolerance to alcohol - it tastes bad to them (because they're intolerant).
We do not host parties at our house. So no Narcan for us. My kids know to call 911 if someone feels sick.
We carry Epipens, and have various health issues. It's enough to be getting on with.

I keep it in the car. I know the heat may damage it, but that's where it might be the most useful. DD witnessed an OD at a HS party from fentanyl-laced weed, so she knows it's in the car (she is often designated driver on weekends). Also, there have been incidents of kids/dogs coming in contact with fentanyl in public parks, which I frequent.

Now we better all have epi pens in case people babe allergic reactions near us too, right?
Instead of wasting time administering a drug improperly, please call 911 instead.

Also what are the chances that you, the parent with Narcan in the basement, are going to be near a kid who is overdosing? Zero. Unless you are at the party with the kids, there’s no way it would be administered in time.
This is so stupid!

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.
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.

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.
Sorry I’m not saving a random stranger who decides to do drugs. Not my problem.
You clearly have no idea how fentanyl works.
No I don’t know. I’m ok with that.

If your kids are hanging out with friends who do drugs, you have a bigger problem than a need for narcan.
That might be true, but many of us are able to solve more than one problem at once.
