For my Aussie friends - there is a free Take Home Nalaxone program, you can go to a huge list of chemists and get it for free, no prescriptions, no intrusive questions, super easily.

I got mine a couple of weeks ago 😄

Awesome! Great info. I never doubted you guys would have a better program then we do in the states. Cheers.

Same here, at least on the west coast of Canada. Free, take one or two and go save some lives!
