Summary

One of the deadliest drugs facing Americans these days is fentanyl, whose potency makes it a cheap way to boost the high of other recreational drugs. Even the smallest amounts of the substance can turn a good time into the last time.

Thankfully the nasal inhalant Narcan can save a person’s life by quickly reversing the symptoms of a lethal drug overdose. So why aren’t more schools and public spaces making it available?

Today comedian, performance artist and trauma clown John Michael joins us to look at Narcan and drug overdoses. In his new show Spank Bank Time Machine, John Michael explores drugs, sex positivity and time travel as he pays tribute to the brilliant lives of his friends who died from drug overdoses.
