You have the power to save a life if you have 44.99

RedditUserSteven · 2023-10-29T17:43:04+00:00

$45?!

iH8MotherTeresa · 2023-10-29T17:50:51+00:00

These are free just about everywhere. Local police/fire/EMS posts, online, most rehab/recovery clinics...

Stuspawton · 2023-10-29T20:48:19+00:00

That’s expensive for a free drug

LooseAsparagus6617 · 2023-10-30T00:53:12+00:00

Put up nose. Spray. Take 8 steps back because whoever you do this to is going to be pissed.

Igottamake · 2023-10-29T19:10:28+00:00

Good. Now do EpiPens.

Jafar_420 · 2023-10-29T20:26:41+00:00

I can tell you one thing for sure, no one that needs narcan is going to spend $45 on it. That money is going to other places. I've been there.

BombayButtocks · 2023-10-29T17:43:20+00:00

Borderline r/mildlyinfuriating considering these should be free with all of the opioid deaths.

Lyra1994 · 2023-10-29T18:36:24+00:00

They're free if they're in the box

OnlyTwoThingsCertain · 2023-10-29T20:26:55+00:00

What is a Narcan?

BuckSweep · 2023-10-29T19:25:37+00:00

Everyone (who has $44.99 plus tax) has the power to save a life

Electronic-Glass7822 · 2023-10-30T00:56:17+00:00

Next #1 stolen item

flyhi808 · 2023-10-30T01:42:26+00:00

Sorry my card got denied for your narcan bro, my bad.

brik55 · 2023-10-29T22:31:34+00:00

Everyone who says it's for junkies, maybe your kid made a bad decision. Or maybe one of their friends. We shouldn't need this, but it could be a reality for somebody you know.

ThatFuckingGuy2 · 2023-10-29T23:11:36+00:00

These should be free and as common as condoms were in the 90's

SuperSaiyanSkeletor · 2023-10-30T02:01:39+00:00

Here's a tip i live in a city and witnessed two people getting narcaned once you spray it in there nose and be ready with a second one at a distance. Once they wake up 70% percent of people will just try to fight you because in their mind they weren't overdosing they were in bliss. Now they are completely sober and they now know they can't get high for atleast 36 hours.

Oseirus · 2023-10-29T22:32:01+00:00

"Napping, please don't Narcan me"

Sea_Negotiation_1871 · 2023-10-29T20:13:40+00:00

They should be free

cpasley21 · 2023-10-29T21:16:30+00:00

I didn't know you can buy this. As a current full time Uber driver I might pick one up. I've discussed with family the fact I became certified in CPR and first aid while caring for my mom before she passed. Be nice to do be able to help if the opportunity comes up.

Joygernaut · 2023-10-29T21:46:34+00:00

Are they free? They should be free. $44? Are you fucking kidding me? In Canada Narcan kits are distributed for free to anybody who wants them.

_amihelping_ · 2023-10-29T17:43:59+00:00

Fourty Five Dollars?!?

Jazzlike_Grab_7228 · 2023-10-29T22:28:40+00:00

Worth every dollar in todays world.

Elptbo · 2023-10-30T01:19:06+00:00

This must be in the states, in Canada they’re free at pharmacy’s and they teach you how to use them.

CrowForce1 · 2023-10-30T01:59:00+00:00

Check with a local nonprofit! One in Washington gives out 2 nasal sprays or 4 injectables every 6 months per address!

emleh · 2023-10-30T02:56:59+00:00

You can get free Narcan from most local Health Departments

llcdrewtaylor · 2023-10-30T03:05:48+00:00

A lot of local health departments and organizations will give this away for free. Also your insurance may cover you getting it if you have a friend or loved one at risk.

salmiakki1 · 2023-10-30T09:49:23+00:00

Purdue Pharma should provide them for free forever

mashton · 2023-10-29T20:15:22+00:00

Be great if they did this for Epi-pens

Laxiken · 2023-10-29T21:36:46+00:00

$45 to get beaten up and jumped by some overdosing homeless guy for ruining his high

Maybe_a_CPA · 2023-10-29T23:31:26+00:00

Big Pharma: creates the huge opiod epidemic

Also Big Pharma: plans to profit off the treatment (not solution)

KhalilRavana · 2023-10-29T17:48:57+00:00

I suppose it's not a global thing, but at least where I live (Alberta, Canada), aren't these things available for *free* and without judgement from various medical/social/emergency services? I shouldn't expect better from Walmart of all places. :\

Edit: Walgreens, Walmart, same poop different pile.

Edit 2: I shared this with a friend who lives in USA. He reports back to me that Narcan *should* be available free at the Walgreens pharmacy for those in a medical emergency and/or can't afford it, while offering the product at a normal sale price to those who can afford it and are not in an emergency in order to recoup some of the cost of the free drugs. Makes enough sense to me after having it explained. I just hope there's signage somewhere to communicate that people having an active emergency can still get help.

gorehistorian69 · 2023-10-29T22:22:26+00:00

back when i was using the free needle clinic gave out like actual vials of Narcan and extras to give my friends. most of my friends did not want them.

the sad thing is most people doing heroin dont have the best outlook also of they OD and you inject them with Narcan it instantly kicks all the heroin molecules bound to the opioid receptors in the brain off of them and sends the person into the worst withdrawals.

ive only ever seen 1 OD in my addiction and it was my girlfriend and she was fine after we sat her up and held hed head up so she could breath. but yea.

opiate addicts arent the brightest bunch. Rule of thumb is "you can always do more but never do less". Most ODs happen just because people are care less. also because drugs are illegal so you never have any idea if its laced with fentanyl or how strong the drug is each time you buy drugs. which are illegal btw. so legalizing drugs would save far more lives than destroy lives.

Leokina114 · 2023-10-29T22:54:07+00:00

Yeah. To bad it's 45 bucks.

CarrotChunx · 2023-10-29T23:06:55+00:00

"imagine how much dope 50 bucks could buy" is what the people who need this the most are thinking. These are so easy to get for free. I got a few from a pharmacy just by saying "I work in areas with prominent opioid addiction, can I get some narcan to keep on me?'

CoolCrab69 · 2023-10-30T00:17:08+00:00

If it were that important they'd (walgreens) give em out for free.

FlpDaMattress · 2023-10-30T00:32:17+00:00

Hasn't rolled out to my Walgreens yet but I'll def pick some up just to carry to events. Fuck the comments wanting people to die.

Lima_Bean_Jean · 2023-10-30T02:18:03+00:00

This is high. New York state will send free ones to anyone in the state who asks.

MistaKrebs · 2023-10-30T02:21:29+00:00

Working at a substance abuse treatment center they give this away like candy. Never knew it was so expensive in the stores. That’s crazy.

MrCarey · 2023-10-30T02:40:24+00:00

Not a single fuckin person will buy those for that much, lol.

VampyreOfNazareth · 2023-10-30T02:48:23+00:00

What the fuck have we become.

_wwjs420 · 2023-10-30T05:23:59+00:00

i used to work at a pharmacy and we would give these out for free if anybody wanted them. 45 bucks is crazy

DarkUrgeTM · 2023-10-30T07:41:53+00:00

Sell it for 2.99 and people will actually have it around in their first aid kits.

2023-10-30T13:16:58+00:00

jakgal04 · 2023-10-30T14:02:43+00:00

If you live in an area where you need it, or have a family member who uses and you want to be safe, you can usually get them for free. Just call your city/township/municipality.

$45 is a scam.

Devilpig13 · 2023-10-30T14:04:50+00:00

This is one hundred percent to scalp some older people whose adult kids have drug issues.

CliffyGiro · 2023-10-30T19:28:52+00:00

r/mildlyinfuriating

These are handed out for free in other civilised countries.

Beanbith · 2023-10-29T22:02:40+00:00

$45 to save a local crackhead, no thanks.

2023-10-29T19:33:48+00:00

Yeah sorry anonymous drug addict your life isn't worth $45 to me.

CowLordOfTheTrees · 2023-10-30T06:33:41+00:00

I think it's weird that walmart sells a free drug.

I think it's weird that a thing to save a crack addict from dying from their mistakes is free, but an epipen to save someone who had no choice in their suffering costs a metric fuck-tonne of money.

Federal-Confusion794 · 2023-10-29T19:12:24+00:00

How fucking depressing is it that government regulations and a failed war on drugs led us to the point where we are expected to drop $45 in this economy just to carry around narcan to save our fellow wage slaves?

phelonious1 · 2023-10-29T19:43:53+00:00

Disgusting that they are making this much off people who want to save someone else’s life. They would still make a profit selling them for 75% less probably.

JustinWAllison · 2023-10-29T19:17:16+00:00

Walgreens, responsible for dispensing these increased dosages and quantities of opiates, now can’t even do the right thing the right way. Get em on the way in and on the way out

KillerCam357 · 2023-10-29T21:32:02+00:00

Fuckem let them die

Rolo_NoLifer · 2023-10-29T22:31:40+00:00

The fact that these are sold and even exists shows that there is something deeply wrong with our society.

raouldukesaccomplice · 2023-10-30T00:51:34+00:00

The sort of person who spends $45 on something to keep in your medicine cabinet "just in case" is probably not the sort of person who needs it to begin with.

rcmp_informant · 2023-10-30T02:53:50+00:00

This is fuckin AWESOME. Nose narcan is the way to go. I’ve used narcan hundreds of times and the nose stuff works quicker and is easier to use by a country mile. High five to whoever is doing this.

Edit holy shit they’re charging 45$ that’s fucked up

Internal-Arrival-215 · 2023-10-29T22:03:57+00:00

I weep for the future.

Winds_Of_Uranus · 2023-10-30T01:08:19+00:00

I asked for it at Walgreens.

Was declined due to the clerks religious beliefs.

(Iowa)

RaiSai · 2023-10-29T19:39:52+00:00

Another great example of “control the symptoms, don’t cure the disease”.

Andrew3236 · 2023-10-29T20:56:13+00:00

That's a bad retail shelf design. It forces anyone that takes one out to not be able to put it back.

Are they expecting that to be a forced sale after they've seen the price and want to put it back?

TransportationTop353 · 2023-10-29T21:05:21+00:00

Not every one has the power to save a life, only those with 44.99 do.

dumpsterboyy · 2023-10-29T21:12:18+00:00

44$ 💀 cant u get these for free just asking at the pharmacy counter

stupidugly1889 · 2023-10-29T21:48:28+00:00

$45 yeah capitalism

Legal_Response6614 · 2023-10-29T21:50:05+00:00

And only $45...what a deal

Joseluki · 2023-10-29T21:56:36+00:00

45 bucks? LMAO, there is always somebody profiting in the USA, even if it is from an overdose epidemic.

K1ngofnoth1ng · 2023-10-29T21:57:09+00:00

Should be free, but America has a late stage capitalism problem.

miffy495 · 2023-10-29T22:02:17+00:00

Holy shit, $45? Here in Canada you just ask the pharmacist and they'll give you a kit and thank you for looking out for others...

weezy_latez · 2023-10-29T22:04:53+00:00

Everyone has the power to save a life…. For $45 of course

Shawnthewolf12 · 2023-10-29T22:07:32+00:00

Which means a human life is worth 45 bucks. (Plus tax.)

Daftanemone · 2023-10-29T22:07:33+00:00

I can’t find the words for this. They’re advertising it as you can save someone’s life. They are trying to get to buy something so you can be a hero.

evilpercy · 2023-10-29T22:15:50+00:00

Or in Ontario Canada it is free at any pharmacy.

MichaelAngelo42069 · 2023-10-29T22:31:07+00:00

There available anywhere even on Amazon

WolfMaster415 · 2023-10-29T22:41:13+00:00

Why the fuck is it almost $50

n2entropy · 2023-10-29T22:44:32+00:00

djdanal · 2023-10-29T23:30:01+00:00

LadyOfCripplingDoubt · 2023-10-29T23:52:59+00:00

Ok_Technology_9488 · 2023-10-29T23:53:32+00:00

In this economy? If I see someone overdosing I might have to kick that machine open lmao

Ipad_is_for_fapping · 2023-10-29T23:53:59+00:00

For the low, low price of $45….wtf why is it so expensive?

No_Numbers_ · 2023-10-30T00:07:39+00:00

That price tag is r/mildlyinfuriating

Organic_JP · 2023-10-30T00:14:29+00:00

They give those out free why pay for them?

ameliacantlove · 2023-10-30T00:31:19+00:00

US folks- check out NEXT Distro

They’re a harm reduction organization & will mail Narcan to you for free. Check your local health departments, mutual aid groups, etc. You can even snag a kit at my local library most days!

likenothingis · 2023-10-30T00:32:02+00:00

FORTY-FIVE DOLLARS‽ Christ, it can take 7–9 of them to bring someone back... That's over $300 minimum!

I get them for free in Canada...
