Hi I’m Kochina Rude, a drag queen based in the Bay Area. 3yrs ago I started giving away Narcan at my shows after reversing an overdose at a party. Since then, my friends and I have distributed more than 4k doses, and SF saw a 20% decrease of fatal ODs this year to date. Change always starts here ❤️

Police enforcement drives overdoses because people are pushed to use alone which increases the risk of a fatal overdose, and confiscating drugs makes people buy again (maybe not from a trusted source) thereby increasing their chances of being sold toxic drugs which increases their risk of OD.
Somehow we arrive at a conclusion that despite police budgets increasing everywhere, overdoses also increasing everywhere was the fault of decrim pilots in two cities and could only be solved by more cops.

A better conclusion: police enforcement drives overdoses.

Police in Rhode Island are saying someone died from fentanyl-laced cannabis based on preliminary drug testing done by the police, and I just want people to remember law enforcement is not qualified to perform drug testing or determine cause of death. It helps nobody to create unfounded drug panics.

Here is the top comment on this article: “You are advising responsible honest people who have worked hard, saved all their lives… to scale down their retirement dreams because a one person has decided to destroy the US economy. Why not write an article about how to get rid of the real problem?”

I say this while agreeing to host an emo theme show sold out so quick deadass
I love an alt-nite theme don’t get me wrong…but it might be helpful for some club promoters to remember that lots of punk and metal shows already exist in most cities & the “target audience” would probably just go to an actual punk or metal show in real life vs. pay the same $ cover for a parody 🙃

Watch a little Oakland history "but the fourth one of its subplots, involving a brawl between Nazi skinheads and punks, is actually based on a true story. "
