Should cocaine and MDMA users carry naloxone, the medicine that prevents fatal opioid overdoses?
Briefly

More than one million Australians have taken cocaine in the last year and 400,000 have consumed ecstasy. Authorities warn users about potential opioid contamination and the need for naloxone.
Prof Suzanne Nielsen highlights the importance of naloxone knowledge among cocaine and ecstasy users, stating that they often lack awareness about opioid overdose and naloxone's life-saving potential.
Rita Brien points out the limited options for drug testing services in Australia, emphasizing that without access, users struggle to make informed decisions regarding drug safety.
Nielsen cautions that home drug testing kits only indicate the presence of substances and may not provide details on potency or potential dangers, increasing risks for users.
