Free narcan.
No questions.
Just lifelines.
Bassline Lifeline is a community harm reduction initiative bringing free naloxone, overdose response training, and no-judgment resources to festivals, raves, and shows across Texas.
Built by the scene, for the scene.
I'm Tierra — U.S. Army veteran, mother, longtime festival and EDM head, and the person running Bassline Lifeline.
This started because I've been in those crowds for years, at shows, at festivals, surrounded by people I'd never met but somehow felt close to anyway. I've seen what happens when something goes wrong a few feet away, and watched people scramble because nobody around had what was actually needed in that moment. I don't want to watch that happen again without being able to do something about it. Bassline Lifeline exists so that next time, someone in the crowd actually can help, so a friend, a stranger, anyone standing nearby has the tools and the knowledge to step in before it's too late.
We provide free naloxone, overdose response education, and harm reduction resources to people who may witness or experience an opioid overdose at music festivals, concerts, and community events — no cost, no judgment, no questions asked.

What you'll find at our table
Free Naloxone
Narcan nasal spray, available at no cost. Take one for yourself, one for a friend, no paperwork.
Fentanyl Test Strips
Free test strips so you can check before you take. Legal in Texas since 2023, and we’ll show you how to use them.
Free Water
Cold water bottles, always. Dehydration and overheating send more people down at a show than anything else.
Earplugs
High-fidelity earplugs to protect your hearing without killing the sound. Hearing damage doesn’t grow back.
Chapstick
Small thing, big difference after hours in the heat or the cold. Branded and free, take a few.
Condoms
Free, no questions, no side-eye. Grab what you need on your way past the table.
Snacks
Something in your stomach makes for a better and safer night. Help yourself.
15-Second Training
That’s all it takes. We’ll show you how to spot an overdose and use Narcan correctly, right there at the table.
Resource Pamphlets
Printed guides with overdose response steps plus addiction help and recovery resources you can take with you.
How to respond, in order
Check responsiveness
Shake them and shout their name. No response, no normal breathing, blue lips or fingertips — treat it as an overdose.
Call 911
Texas's Good Samaritan law protects you and the person you're helping when you call for an overdose.
Administer naloxone
Spray one dose into one nostril. If there's no improvement in 2-3 minutes, give a second dose in the other nostril.
Rescue breaths & recovery position
If they're not breathing normally, give rescue breaths. Once breathing resumes, place them on their side.
Stay until help arrives
Naloxone wears off before some opioids do. Don't leave — overdose can return.
