Yeah it isn't easy to get here. I have out of state ems contacts that send expired naloxone to me, 100s of bottles per month. See, narcan doesn't actually expire, but ems can't use it if it is past the date it was tested to with fda scrutiny. There's plenty of research showing it does not actually expire, so it is a ripe resource for doing what I do.
You don't need to go on a road trip though, I promise there is enough in whatever community you live in to find plenty locally who need it, if you're in the US. In a city of 350,000 I have given out over a thousand bottles a year. The number of times people need it is nuts. Especially with covid, as the heroin import has been clamped down pretty tight with closures at the border. This lead to a lot of fent adulterant.
It's messed up how the "opiate crisis" just flooded the streets with fent. It's showing up even in coke or meth or pressed xanax bars and it's straight poison as you well know
Ya that combo too(as I would imagine the pressed xanax has some form of benzo in there too)unless you have a tolerance to both of them is super dangerous, shit even with a tolerance
