That's terrifying. I don't use but work with people in recovery and with the general public. Stay safe.

There are a ton of programs in the UK (and globally also) that'll give it to you free without a prescription.

Absolutely this. Most folks don't recognize addiction in people they know and are shocked when someone passes from OD. "They're a stranger and can die" is selfish AF.

Narcan then 911 is the procedure to save lives. If you carry a gun then you should carry Narcan too.

Yepp, blows me away. It's not just for the person ODing, it's for everyone in their community: their family, their friends, the first responders, the teachers, church members etc. A ton of folks seem to lack the ability to care for anyone other than themselves or to see past the surface level impact.
