Cocaine with suspected benzo’s and fetty NL

Nov 22nd, 2023 – Mount Pearl, NL

This report came from a trusted community member

“Two friends using the same supply needed to be taken to hospital after using what was believed to be benzo and fetty laced Cocaine intravenously. Family members and friends administered naloxone and provided first aid support until help arrived. The naloxone only seemed to help a little in this situation, so that is why we believe benzos where also a factor in this accidental drug poisoning, multiple vials of naloxone used before difference was noticed in the individuals” Unfortunately this was the only bit they could buy between them so they did not test it. We are happy to report both people involved are home doing well.
