We are seeing an increase in drug poisoning events as the summer comes to an end. Supply shortages and inconsistencies, seasonal change, and the ever-increasingly toxic nature of the drug supply are all factors in this.
This is a reminder to stock up on harm reduction supplies and naloxone, to test your drugs (even if your dealer is really cool), and to use slow and with a friend if you can.
If you’re using alone, call the NORS line (1-888-688-NORS) to have someone spot you over the phone.
We love and care about you, and want you and your loved ones to be safe as you’re using, this fall and always.
