Please carry naloxone
You'll have read this already on my homepage, but it bares repeating. If you take anything from this site please let it be this! carry Naloxone! Naloxone is a life saving medicine that reverses overdoses. Even if you will never need it for yourself or any of your friends (though lets be real you never actually know) if you live by people there will be a moment where you come across someone who's overdosed.
If you are in the United States of America you can check SAFE Project to find out what your state laws are. If your in Canada check this Government of Canada site to find out where you can find naloxone in your province. If you are anywhere else google "where to get naloxone _YOUR CITY/PROVINCE/COUNTRY_" to find out more information.
Look out for each other
Check on your neighbours, especially if they are slouched over in ways that you would never comfortably position your own body. Even if they aren't using drugs, they may need your help. If someone is injured, having heatstroke, or a diabetic emergency you could save their life instead off passing by and letting them die. If they don't need or want your help you can always walk away, at least you did your best to look out for your neighbours.
When I say neighbours I mean everyone in your community. Not just people you know, and not just people who are housed. Everyone is your neighbour, and everyone deserves to be treated like one.
