Lambton County OPP are reminding residents to call 911 if you see an overdose, even if you are in possession of drugs, or have taken them yourself, the Good Samaritan Drug Overdose Act can protect you legally.
Under the act, you are protected if you are in possession of drugs for your own use, and if you are violating conditions of parole, bail, probation, or conditional sentence order for simple drug possession.
You will not be protected if you are trafficking illegal drugs, have an outstanding arrest warrant, or are violating conditions of parole, bail, probation or conditional sentence order for an offence that is not simple possession.
The act is there to help reduce the fear of police attending the scene during an overdose, so if you witness an overdose, call 911. You could save a life.
