My zipcode was just named the #1 overdose area in the county.
Today this was posted on the news http://www.13abc.com/home/headlines/Narc-Me-parties-are-a-deadly-new-twist-to-Heroin-376440131.html Toledo, Ohio "Narc-Me" parties or "Lazarus Parties" are now adding another level of danger to the heroin epidemic. This is where a group of addicts decide they're going to shoot up on heroin and then someone remains sober, with the heroin anti-dote narcan standing by in case someone overdoses. View Quote |

WTF
Quote: "There's no way of knowing how many doses of narcan will work" |
|
|
So they do a bigger dose to get higher with the idea that the "sober" junkie can save them?
|
|
|
I thought heroin users hated getting the narcan? Doesn't it basically throw them into withdraw immediately?
Seems dumb, but they are heroin users... |
|
|
Couldn't happen to a nicer group. Maybe they'll do us all a favor and off themselves quietly.
|
|
Well, I admire their motivation to have someone on standby. I mean shit, that seems like a lot of forethought and planning for people who basically sit around banging drugs.
|
|
Why don't I believe that the world will miss them when they OD?

Darwin is killing it this year ... it's a new record!
On a serious note I feel bad for their families. |

I told the ladyfriend (M.D., PhD.) about this. Her response: "That's a lot of trust to put in that one person. I don't want that responsibility. Fuck that." Especially when a whole lifetime of bad decisions has led every one of those motherfuckers to that party. |
|
I just don't get the appeal to such a drug where you pretty much pass out seconds after injecting it. So much fun!!!!
|
|
I mean, that's the responsible thing to do. If you have a sober sitter who can recognize and safely treat an o.d. then there's no need to call an ambulance or clog up the medical system. That's pretty much the definition of "doesn't affect me."
Using that as an excuse to see how much you can inject is dumb, but there's no law against being dumb. And now I sit back and wait for the drug warriors to pile on. |

Lol, the stuff they give is set up for intranasal so if they take a shitload then intranasal isn't very effective. Since they are junkies, I'm sure they will be fine poking themselves to administer it, so that might work. But, Narcan doesn't last very long so unless they know how to dose it and breath for them I still foresee much darwinism. At least this will make the 911 calls more fun, more intubations for everyone!

Narcan is the opposite of natural selection and whoever invented it did a tremendous disservice to humanity. It is a drug with almost no purpose other than absolving idiots of their life threatening actions. |

To be honest, I doubt the veracity of this story. I think someone trolled Channel 13

That's a stretch even in this context but hey it is their lives and I simply don't have too many fucks to give for them. |

Sometimes they intentionally OD and have their homeboy slowly administer the Narcan to try to achieve the "ultimate almost overdosing" high We should replace every syringe of Narcan carried around in the wild with an epi-pen, that way we'd save a couple innocent children with bee sting allergies and lose thousands of junkies. |

View Quote Nope it chemically Neutralizes the Opiate.....INSTANT Sober...which is why EVERY Scumbag Junky Fuck I ever saw Narcaned, Young, Old, Male, Female pops up swinging as the Narcan hits |

At the risk of sounding callous; does NARCAN somewhat interfere with the normal self correcting junkie problem ?

This story is horseshit. No heroin addict is going to stay clean and watch his buddies get loaded. Heroin is not really a social drug.Its not like sniffing coke off a mirror or having some drinks. A dope feind is going to fix his dope and then nod off in a corner,scratch himself and vomit occasionally.

Basically once Narcan is administered there is a lot of follow on medical care that MUST be given in very short order or the patient basically OD's again when the Narcan in their system is used up, but the opiates remain. |
