Regarding harm reduction, I think education is still a top priority for law enforcement and first responders as well as users. There are multiple videos of police officers "ODing" on fentanyl courtesy of a touch, an errant breeze and in one case, just being in the vicinity. I've had the unfortunate distinction of seeing a fentanyl OD occur and rendering some first aid. They had none of the signs and symptoms I saw in that OD and copious amounts of Narcan in the officers' systems produced no effect.

They were having panic attacks after freaking out over the fentanyl in their vicinity. The officers' probably had that fear hammered in to them. Fentanyl is a dangerous drug, yes, but it's not a video game style "insta-death" if you so much as touch it.

Which brings me to the point that scares me. If our community LEOs and first responders are being trained to be this scared of a drug, how have they been reacting to the users?
