So, back when Abrax forums were up, a few people in the Heroin thread came to a great idea of setting up an account to sell Narcan to people who can't get it in their state or area without the police at your door or some other craziness. Seriously, this leads to people dropping OD'd people off at the hospital, not doing anything at all or worse things.
It's possible for someone to get Narcan over the counter now, and resell it for no profit (yes, hard to believe, I know) for the purpose of harm reduction. Well, that is just the main one I know that is hard to get. Perhaps making detox kits or something similar to what /u/GrandWizardsLair has made in the past to help people quit opiates. But again, the more ideas that I get, I'd be willing to do other harm reduction stuff for other drugs, I simply am just not that well versed with those types of harm reduction methods.
I'm not new to DNMs, but never considered vending before and am a bit uneasy about doing it myself, in fact, I don't want to do it myself as sad as it sounds, but could if there is literally no other way.
Would you guys be interested in this, do you think it could work? How would you do it? What are some tips or anything really. I'm just brainstorming right now and would like everyone's input on this to make it as painless as possible and of course full transparency when it comes to it being non-profit.
The buyer would simply purchase whatever harm reduction items they need, pay for shipping and it would be delivered in a timely fashion, like we all are accustomed to.
I think it's worth it, but I don't want to go to pound me in the ass jail because I want to help people, so I'd need to have ever base covered before I do this, if I even did it at all. I could simply supply the Narcan and someone more professional could handle it.
Thanks for reading!
Edit: wow one hour in and so many people have come forth to help out. This means a lot guys, thank you for the brilliant ideas and reassurance that people support this idea. I really do mean it, thank you guys!
Edit 2: Thank you everybody who has contributed thus far. It would appear I am not quite ready to do this quite yet. I have much to learn and there has many great counter-points or just concerns in general. It's possible there is already another account that is going to be providing Narcan, among other harm reduction supplies in the works as well. Thanks again guys, but feel free to post harm prevention ideas still, lots off good stuff came out of this thread and really dig the positively and thoughtfulness put into many of your comments. This is the DNM I know and love, so it's good to see you again!
I don't know if i would trust Narcan from a DNM at all, we're talking about lives here.
