Coke use is Charleston’s favorite way to play Russian roulette.
I keep two things of Naloxone (aka Narcan) in my kitchen drawer. I’ve lost a couple friends to fentanyl in the past 5 years and want to be prepared if need be. I’ve also regretfully done a good bit of cocaine. No one wants to talk about it…. because everyone (everyone) in Chas is doing it.
I think access to both fentanyl testing strips and Narcan would decrease fentanyl related deaths. Weird example, but you always smell...
Coke use is Charleston’s favorite way to play Russian roulette.
I keep two things of Naloxone (aka Narcan) in my kitchen drawer. I’ve lost a couple friends to fentanyl in the past 5 years and want to be prepared if need be. I’ve also regretfully done a good bit of cocaine. No one wants to talk about it…. because everyone (everyone) in Chas is doing it.
I think access to both fentanyl testing strips and Narcan would decrease fentanyl related deaths. Weird example, but you always smell weed before you buy it, or at least take a good look at it to check its quality. I see no reason for people (buyers or sellers) to not whip out a testing kit before selling or purchasing. Sellers should be motivated to prove their stuff is safe, and buyers should be adamant on only buying when product is tested in front of them. Testing strips would need to be able to be obtained anonymously. Maybe make them available in bathroom stalls at bars, venues and clubs for people to test before they use? Would encourage cocaine use? Yeah, maybe, but it would encourage safer cocaine use. Not at all the same, but it’s semi-similar to high school nurses’ offices providing free condoms…. it may encourage sex, but people are gonna be having sex regardless, so why not give people room to do it safely.
These ideas only really work in a perfect world and at the end of the day if you are an addict (or even just a one time user), you’ll take what you can get. I surely remember when I would purchase the driest, stemmiest, seediest of weed just so I could get a little buzz and sleep soundly that night.
Nonetheless… kill your local heroine/coke dealer, and for god’s sake, just get an Adderall scrip.
Any update on what’s going down this first week of April?
Hey! We are overhauling our events calendar currently so we stopped doing the weekly roundup as of last week, but we are working on something even better:

I’m also a longtime Sweetwater drinker and I didn’t want to be the one to say it. But it really does seem like they stole the Extra Chill name and slapped it on a can without giving credit.
It’s weird because The Psycodelics, Little Stranger, and Kanika Moore are all playing 420 Fest in like two weeks and they all have strong ties with Extra Chill. If Sweetwater is pushing that beer at the event, it will be interesting to say the least.
I hope it’s just a simple oversight but it also...

I hope it’s just a simple oversight but it also seems like somebody who works at Sweetwater would have heard about Extra Chill by now considering how long it has been around.
Definitely not a great look for them in terms of the Charleston market and overall music industry reputation.
I mean….. Yea they obviously did steal the name.. Charleston bars are already saying they are going to stop carrying Sweetwater products.. Extra Chill has been a staple in the Charleston community for 13 years and it’s disheartening to see them ripped off by a regional company with similar ties and interests in music.. I’ve supported that brand for years and now I just have a sour taste in my mouth.. and it’s not from the (insert uninspired weed reference) named beer. Hopefully they do...

Hopefully they do what’s right.. or their product will not be supported in Charleston.
