California rock festival attendees were handed out anti-overdose kits and given lessons in how to use them over the weekend.

Pearl Jam singer Eddie Vedder’s Ohana Festival in Dana Point saw representatives from Portland, Ore.-based Project RED give out the opioid-reversal drug Narcan to concertgoers in a bid to curb the risk of drug deaths. 

Overdose deaths in the US have soared in recent years, topping 100,000 in 2021, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Many deaths have been blamed on the introduction of the synthetic opioid Fentanyl into the mainstream drug supply, which is easy to overdose on, but can be reversed by Narcan. 

No overdoses or deaths were reported at Ohana, headlined by Vedder with Stevie Nicks and Pink. 

However, in September 27-year-old Eli Rodriguez died after overdosing on a mystery drug at a different music festival in California.

Kasey Anderson, director of development and community engagement for the Alano Club of Portland, which runs Project RED, said the group has distributed more than 5,000 Narcan nasal spray kits in cities where Pearl Jam has toured, including New York, California, New Jersey, Colorado and Oklahoma. 

“I think that we are reaching a point in this country where just keeping people alive should be at the forefront of everybody’s mind right now,” Anderson told The Post. “This is a way to keep people alive and to allow people to have another chance at life. To me, that’s a no brainer.”
