Reply to comment by Crott117 in LPT: Keep narcan on you, you never know when it might save a life! Secondary tip, don't buy Narcan because many states have it available for free at their mental health agencies. by Allprofile

Narcan works instantly.

911 calls get there as fast as they can, but it can take several minutes , which can mean the difference between life and death.

This is a great LPT if you know someone who uses opiates. The problem is many people don't know if someone is a user until they OD.

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.
