just started the new #good-#news-only #newsletter and it's already restoring my faith in humanity:

- #housing for the #homeless
- #free boy clothes for fall
- #Iowa's first #Narcan/#naloxone pick-up box
- more than 61K lbs of trash pulled from our rivers

The cops asked him if he needed help & he retorted "Yes, I need to know where I can get a lot of soup!" He had stopped in an intersection & was giving people on the street sandwiches out of his car. I walked by with SAGE Clan (we distribute bagged lunches, bottled water, muffins, #narcan kits & friendly conversation). I imagine that he felt outraged by the racist inaction of settler society here in #Lethbridge #Alberta. I can relate to his sense of urgency, to disrupt traffic, to draw attention.

#Narcan is coming to #drugstore shelves — for those who can afford it

I just picked up a box of NARAC at my local Kaiser Emergency Room.

Heard about it on TV. Anyone, whether a member of Kaiser or not, can do the same.

I don't need it "personally" but I like to be "prepared" and you never know when you'll be in a position to save someone's life.

I'm trained in CPR too but I would be better prepared to have an AED on hand but they're too expensive to buy for personal use. 🤷‍♂️

🚨 #PSA #NewYorkCity !

#Free #KN95 #masks have been added to #NYC's #PublicHealth #VendingMachines in #Brooklyn.

It is hosted & serviced by #SUS (#ServicesForTheUnderserved), & also has #naloxone (#Narcan), #hygiene kits, & #SaferSex kits.

This is tremendous news - #CovidIsNotOver, & the more people who have access to good masks to wear in public, esp indoor spaces, the safer we ALL are.

#MaskUp Lovely Peeps - take care of yourselves & each other.

@littletranspunk @Fury You mean #Naloxone ( also sold under brand names like #Narcan, #Evzio, #Nyxoid and mamy more)?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naloxone

Yeah, for some bs reason that stuff is not legal to carry or buy in #Germany (otherwise I would've one in my advanced first aid kit) without spechal prescription, so only paramedics, pharmacies and doctors will likely have it.

That stuff should be sold through parmacies because it's less harmful than antihistamies, which unlike Naloxone, can be lethal!

Who needs more #Narcan? Whiskey Tangos in Ohio.

Students in public schools are being trained to use Narcan. 2 big takeaways, make sure it's in the nostril before you spray, and you will not cause harm if you administer this when it's not needed.

The #FDA just approved nalmefene hydrochloride (Opvee) as a prescription nasal spray to reverse #opioid #overdose in people 12 and older.

Interesting because FDA approved #naloxone hydrochloride (#Narcan) as over-the-counter back in March.

Carry naloxone 24/7
I'm tired of seeing people die from really preventable deaths
I'm tired of spending my time tryna convince ignorant and privileged folks to take naloxone just to hear that they don't use drugs well idgaf it's a crisis,
people are dying from their not being a safe drug supply
Someone you know could be using substances and you should know how to react if they overdose

RT @_Eric_Reinhart
If we want to stop the outrageous overdose rate in the US, we need to make it easier to get methadone and buprenorphine than it is to get street opioids. That the opposite is true right now is completely antithetical to good public health policy.
