Bars host Narcan training after several people reportedly overdose on laced cocaine
ATLANTA (WGCL) Bars in East Atlanta are taking a proactive approach to prevent drug overdoses.
At least five people overdosed on cocaine laced with fentanyl at or near metro Atlanta bars this week, according to the Atlanta Harm Reduction Coalition.
“Usually you don’t find fentanyl, an opioid, a downer, in cocaine, a stimulant, an upper,” said Mona Bennett, an ambassador for the organization. “In these cases, I suspect the people were expecting just cocaine, but a lot of drug sellers cut there’s with a lot of other stuff.”
