I don't know anyone with an opioid addiction (at least that I know of), but I wonder if it wouldn't be a good idea to pick some up just to keep on me in case of emergency?

I don’t know anyone either but it seems to be a handy thing to have on ones person. I think there are public classes you can take on how to administer it too if you want to be extra prepred

Just tried...needed a prescription and pay retail price ($170). So I had no access.

In the past I have gotten them from community programs, but each time I got it, I passed it off to people that actually used dope since the chances of them OD or seeing an OD is a lot higher.

I thought I didn’t know anyone until it was too late. This program is life changing, pick one up. When states offer services like this we should use them. You never know.

Seeing so many of the policies go through to help the public makes me never want to leave NJ. Lots of common sense, forward thinking moves. IDC that it's expensive as fuck to be here. If my tax money is helping people who need it and going towards educating the younger generation then I'm ready to stick around long term.

If you spend time in areas with open air drug use or know people that use it, then definitely. Otherwise, it'd be extremely rare but can be in ICOE thing.

In Paterson I know people that carry it for that reason, and we have saved people because of it.

I'm sorry for your loss :(

I'll make sure to pick one up once the program starts! Like you said, you never know, and it is better to be safe than sorry.

thank you

Well we have enough pharma hq’s here that this should be a model state for affordable and effective healthcare. Instead we get corruption and pandering for profit. Glad to see a drop of good done in their sea of greed

Don't worry, Big pharma greed will still make a fee off of everyone that goes out plus get big tax breaks for all the ones "sold".

I believe the cops have had Narcan with them for a while. Also, substance test kits.
