I was told recently by a person doing addiction outreach that the biggest spike in overdose deaths he sees is from methamphetamine being spiked with fentanyl.

Not going to judge the plan, but please make sure to have a Narcan (naloxone) nearby, familiarize yourself with its use and do the same for any friends/family/neighbors that might be in near proximity of you. If you can’t afford it there are organizations that can provide you one for free or lower cost.



Thank you, I appreciate particularly all attempts at harm reduction, that's very thoughtful and kind of you.

Narcan (naloxone) is a wonderful thing, that I wish was more broadly available. I would still worry that sometimes people are not able to self-administer Narcan, so in addition fentanyl test strips are a very good idea to also have. They're a little false-positive heavy, but that seems better than the alternative.
