In a groundbreaking initiative to address the ongoing opioid crisis and promote public health, Planet Nugg, a licensed New York dispensary, is teaming up with Open Minded Organics, a local Long Island cultivator and processor, and the Long Island Cannabis Coalition, a political group committed to advancing the legal cannabis market in New York. Together, they will host a Narcan training session aimed at curbing the illicit drug market and preventing fentanyl overdoses.

This free event is open to the public and will take place on Tuesday, December 10th, at The Cloud, located at 2043 Wellwood Ave, Suite 1, Farmingdale, NY.

A Community-Focused Approach to Safety

As the legal cannabis industry grows, organizations like Planet Nugg and the Long Island Cannabis Coalition are stepping up to address the dangerous realities posed by illicit drug markets. The rise of fentanyl-related overdoses across the country has highlighted the urgent need for accessible Narcan training and education.

This event is the first in a series of trainings organized by the coalition, designed to empower both cannabis professionals and the community at large with life-saving knowledge.

What to Expect at the Narcan Training

The Narcan training session, led by experienced professionals, will focus on:

• Recognizing the Signs of an Overdose: Learn how to identify the symptoms of opioid overdoses, including those caused by fentanyl.
• Administering Narcan: Receive hands-on training on how to safely and effectively use Narcan, a nasal spray that can reverse opioid overdoses.
• Curtailing the Illicit Drug Market: Discuss the role of education and community action in reducing the impact of unregulated substances on Long Island.

Planet Nugg will also use this opportunity to certify its budtenders, equipping them with the tools and knowledge needed to handle potential emergencies and advocate for safer practices within the industry.

Why This Matters

The legal cannabis market stands as a safer, regulated alternative to the dangers of illicit drugs. By hosting Narcan training events, Planet Nugg, Open Minded Organics, and the Long Island Cannabis Coalition are reinforcing their commitment to community safety and responsibility.

The fentanyl epidemic has impacted countless families, and events like this ensure more individuals are prepared to respond to emergencies while promoting the importance of regulation and oversight in the cannabis industry.
