Three people in my house are in a lot of pain and on routine pain killers. Drug interactions can be funny. And by funny I mean kill you. I’m so, so happy to see this.
Honestly, good. The only reason not good is because where Im from you can get narcan for free ~~at any pharmacy~~ [via mail](https://tennesseeharmreduction.com/how-to-request-supplies-via-mail/)no questions asked in motherfucking TENNESSEE. (So kinda shitty youd sell it for money)
This being widely available is great and ideal, however as someone from Portugal I can tell you that the fact this is readily available is a symptom of a drug epidemic that, in our case, was quelled only with a big investment in progressive drug policies (even if that goes against our values)
My city has a free narcan vending machine, and will send you them free, along with fent test strips, and masks for CPR. If you pay for narcan, you are supporting big pharmacy. It’s literally free online. [Free Narcan](https://nextdistro.org/pennsylvania)
I got Narcan for free. I walk/run outside a lot, and wear a hydration backpack (Camelbak) while doing so. Part of my gear is a first aid kit, and I carry two nasal sprays in there. I’ve seen someone ODing on opioids before and right as I was about to assess and help, paramedics arrived and revived them. Some people aren’t so lucky to have that happen, so I decided to carry Narcan with me just in case. I hope I never have to use it, but I’m glad I can have (some of) the tools to help someone in their darkest hour if need be.
While I don’t necessarily agree with Narcan being sold for profit, I do like the idea that it’s becoming more ubiquitous by the day. And, revenue from retail sales can (ideally) help to subsidize the free Narcan given out- so there’s that.
In Ontario, Canada, it’s mandated that pharmacies advertise that it is available for free. They even request you take a kit if you have a prescription for a narcotic.
I hope anyone who uses this is made aware that the effects of narcan wear off faster than the opiod it counteracted. So yeah it works great, but in 20-30 mins your gonna have the same problem again. Gonna need to go seek medical care before that window closes.
Everyone should carry this. Opioid overdoses are incredibly common, and no one ever thinks they would be in that situation, but you never know what could happen. You could save someone”s life with this.
I mean, where were you *expecting* them to sell it? Like, if they sold it at a flower shop, sure, that would be weird, but you are literally commenting on selling medication at a pharmacy.

Good. Will save lives
Got it at CVS, too.
I think you can get it for free at libraries
If you live in Michigan you can get it for free [here.](https://nextdistro.org/michigan)
The sex toys are also out and about at Target. Never thought I’d see the day people stopped being so prudish.

brought to you by the makers of The Opioid Epidemic!
You can just get it free in many places.

NYS gives it away for free.
Good.
Addictions are hard. Fellow people saving lives only helps people get back on their feet rather than the police locking them up.
It’s free where I live.
“for use in nose only”….. whoops…
This being widely available is great and ideal, however as someone from Portugal I can tell you that the fact this is readily available is a symptom of a drug epidemic that, in our case, was quelled only with a big investment in progressive drug policies (even if that goes against our values)
Now try getting an epipen….
I work in a prison..literally..and it’s hanging on the wall with the AEDs in almost every office. People have saved lives with it there.
Put Fentanyl test kits next to the Narcan as well. Fucking Fentanyl is everywhere. Why is there Fentanyl in my shrooms, ecstasy?

While it may seem “sad” to see narcan everywhere, it’d be a lot more sad when it’s needed and no one has it. I’m glad target has it now!
In Ontario, Canada, it’s mandated that pharmacies advertise that it is available for free. They even request you take a kit if you have a prescription for a narcotic.
You can get it free in Washington State from [this site](http://phra.org/mail-order-naloxone).
I still narcan’t afford it.
Can’t beat the opioid epidemic? Find a way to benefit from it.
To quote a tumblr post, “I would like to congratulate drugs for continuing to win the war on drugs.”
But people have to pay for epipens and insulin…
Should be a staple in any first aid kit honestly.
I hope anyone who uses this is made aware that the effects of narcan wear off faster than the opiod it counteracted. So yeah it works great, but in 20-30 mins your gonna have the same problem again. Gonna need to go seek medical care before that window closes.
Source: am paramedic, have given countless times.
If you live in Minnesota, the Steve Rummler Hope Network will give you Naloxone/Narcan for free and even train you how to use it.
US REDDITORS:
You can get free narcan/narcan training from your local non profits.
Many have classes and order narcan in mass to hand out to folks.
If the $45 is out of your reach, reach out to these orgs and they can help, especially if you inject or use drugs.
DM me and i can help find an org near you.
It’s great and sad at the same time. It’s like making child sized bullet proof vests.
You can get it for free at Chicago Public Libraries: https://chicago.suntimes.com/2022/1/10/22872675/chicago-public-library-overdose-reversal-medication-narcan-opioids-public-health
Buy it while you can. Seems we are running out of narcan at my EMS job, but there’s always a shortage of one drug or another these days.
Bout fucking time. What excuse could there possibly be to not sell it openly, except wanting opiod users to die
This is a good thing. I’m surprised it’s not $600 or more like EpiPens
America selling the problem and the cure classic
The words “selling” and “Narcan” shouldn’t be seen together.
I’m Canada, they give it out for free.
America, you guys have some messed up priorities.
Wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for this. 2 and a half years sober now 😤💪🏻
Did drugs win the war on drugs?
Every pharmacy in my area gives out Narcan for free. They have it at the register with a sign that says ” Free, Take One”
Everyone should carry this. Opioid overdoses are incredibly common, and no one ever thinks they would be in that situation, but you never know what could happen. You could save someone”s life with this.
They have a vending machine that only has free narcan in it in the main jail lobby in my city
I mean, where were you *expecting* them to sell it? Like, if they sold it at a flower shop, sure, that would be weird, but you are literally commenting on selling medication at a pharmacy.
Good
The Sackler Family should be supplying these for no charge.
