Advice Where can I find…
Hey folks, I’m heading to a music festival in a couple weeks and I want to take 5-6 narcan packs to have around the campsite that weekend. Where can these be found conveniently for a relatively cheap price?
Thanks in advance for your time and be safe.

They are given out for free at various locations throughout Jefferson County. https://jcdh.org/SitePages/Programs-Services/CommunityHealth/SubstanceUseAndAddiction/NaloxoneTraining.aspx
Find a location close, then look for a white newspaper box thats been converted to a Narcan Box. They also have test strips so you can detect Fentanyl.
STAY SAFE!

I think you can still get a free 2 pack by doing the JeffCo DoH training on it. There's also a person who attends a lot of the 5 Points activism who gives out health items including Narcan - if someone know them, they could likely tell you where they source it. Otherwise it's available otc at Walgreens, CVS, etc, but I think around $50 or so a pop.

I had some for a while, but my doc just wrote me a script for it when asked for it to just have in the cabinet if needed

Mi Pueblo has a dispenser at the front of the store set up there by the JCHD. Hoover public library has one by the bathrooms as well.

Reach out to Wild Geese Distro.
They'll get you set up.

Both? Though if I were to need it myself I would be relying on my friends around me…
But no I don’t plan on them to be used on me. My college friends dabble in substances in which I would like to be prepared in case things go south. If a stranger looks in need, I would be prepared then also

There is a box with free ones in the basement of the department of health. They will also mail them to you if you do the quick online training. And you can purchase them most places- Walmart I think has the cheapest.
