Narcan Nate: From selling drugs to saving hundreds from dying


Listen Later

As the U.S. struggles with a deadly drug epidemic, Nathan Smiddy has made it his mission to prevent deaths and mourning. He believes that by distributing Narcan, he has saved around 450 lives in the past year. 

The issue hits home for “Narcan Nate” because he started not only using but selling drugs in high school. In this episode of Grieving Out Loud, hear how Nate overcame his substance use disorder after a couple of close encounters with death.

Nate has created a Go Fund Me page to help with his efforts at https://www.gofundme.com/f/narcan-nate-fund
