The Moose Jaw Police Service is concerned about a possible tainted or compromised drug in the city.

This after officers responded to three overdoses within 12 hours between Saturday night and Sunday morning.  Police report one man passed away and two were revived with the assistance of EMS and Naloxone.

Police continue to investigate, but have set some reminders for the general public:

-Anyone can be at risk of an overdose. Don’t use alone.
-If you are a drug user, or you know a drug user, get help. Don’t let the addiction make the decisions and plans that can lead to a near-fatal or fatal overdose.  Connect with health resources.
-Learn the signs of an opioid overdose. These can include: difficulty walking, talking or staying awake; blue lips or nails; pinpoint pupils, cold and clammy skin, dizziness or confusion; extreme drowsiness; choking, gurgling or snoring sounds; slow or weak breathing; inability to wake up even when shaken or shouted at.
-Know that the Good Samaritan Overdose Act will protect anyone experiencing a drug overdose from charges of possession of a controlled substance. That s also true for anyone present while someone else is experiencing an overdose. Don t hesitate to call 9-1-1 in an overdose situation.  Learn more about the Good Samaritan Overdose Act.

-Anyone can access a Naloxone kit if they are concerned about experiencing a drug overdose or witnessing one.  Learn more about take-home Naloxone.
