Im sure most people here know this, but often times I see people parrot "carry narcan" and leave out the "dont use alone" part
I have met a lot of rookies IRL that think they can reverse their own opiate OD, because they have never had a true OD, which outside of extremely niche circumstances is an oxymoron. They think having narcan on them is enough and that if they did too much they can narcan themselves
Real life isnt hollywood, you are not that hot red head chick in Flight that does some heroin, realizes she did too much, and dramatically reaches for the bag of cocaine but is unable to reach it
Here's how it goes: you do the drugs, BAM, BLACK, NOTHING. Your done. You have no idea what hit you. Instant black. Not a bad way to die, 100% painless but you will die if you are alone. If you get saved you likely won't even really remember feeling much of a high.
