Bliss State Park on the lake’s south shore on Saturday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pickles’ widow, Jordan Sugar-Carlsgaard, said she had stayed back at the family’s Lake Tahoe home with their 7-month-old daughter while the group took the 27-foot Chris-Craft Launch 2 out on the water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No words can express the pain and anguish we feel knowing their lives were lost during what was meant to be a joyful time on the lake,” she said in a statement. “Our hearts go out to those who tragically lost their lives and the two survivors of this unexpected and deadly storm on Lake Tahoe.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ten people were on the powerboat, which was owned by Pickles and his father, when it flipped. Eight died, and two were rescued and taken to a hospital. Along with Pickles and his parents, who lived in Redwood City, the other victims included Pickles’ uncle Peter Bayes, 72, of Lincoln and Timothy O’Leary, 71, of Auburn, both near Sacramento.

How do we keep each other safe?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Taking party drugs (molly, cocaine, ketamine, 2C-B or “tusi”) has become more dangerous in recent years as these drugs are now being laced with fentanyl more frequently. And while we’re certainly not encouraging folks to do drugs at Pride, we do hope this information can help reduce the risk of a bad trip or an accidental overdose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Before going out …\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First off, Cuadra said, check in with yourself now, before the weekend starts, about what type of experience you want to have. “If you’re being realistic with yourself and you would like to do some drugs this weekend,” he said, “that’s probably something you want to prepare for ahead of time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Making a decision now about what you want to do can keep you from making risky decisions later on, Cuadra said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You run a risk whenever you take any drugs, but I think the risk is heightened if you’re at a club and looking for drugs right there and then,” he said. “Maybe you don’t know the person that’s selling it to you at the club. You just might be a little bit more desperate for whatever you can get your hands on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cuadra adds that if you do buy drugs, it’s best to do so in advance and from someone you know and trust — which, in turn, gives you more time to test for fentanyl. Many party drugs are increasingly laced with fentanyl, many times without the user’s knowledge. A 2022 scientific study found that \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/09/14/1199396794/fentanyl-mixed-with-cocaine-or-meth-is-driving-the-4th-wave-of-the-overdose-cris\">nearly a third of overdoses reported nationwide in 2021 involved both fentanyl and stimulants such as \u003c/a>cocaine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if you were told by someone else that none of your drugs have fentanyl, it’s still a good idea to test them for yourself, Cuadra said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People who do drugs that are not opioids sometimes think, ‘Well, I’m not doing opioids, so why should I be testing for fentanyl?’” he said. “Unfortunately, more opioid overdoses happen with people who are not used to those drugs because your body hasn’t built up a tolerance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The nonprofit FentCheck \u003ca href=\"https://fentcheck.org/check-your-drugs-1\">provides a list of bars and other community spaces\u003c/a> that offer fentanyl test strips and Narcan. The group also has a \u003ca href=\"https://fentcheck.org/check-your-drugs\">step-by-step tutorial on using test strips\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>While you’re out …\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wherever you end up on Pride weekend, go with a group of friends. Even if you end up meeting someone else, Cuadra said, having your friends nearby can make the night less anxiety-inducing, especially if you’re having a bad trip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even if you’re taking a drug regularly, it might not have the desired effect that day,” he said. “It might just mean you’re in a different space, and it’s just nice to check in with someone and take whatever steps you need to get into a better headspace or a safer environment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Something else to consider bringing with you when going out: Narcan. Narcan is the brand name for a naloxone nasal spray that is administered to someone when they are experiencing an opioid overdose (including from fentanyl).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anyone can buy Narcan at a pharmacy without needing a prescription, and you can also get it free of charge at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sf.gov/location/behavioral-health-access-center-bhac\">San Francisco Department of Public Health’s Community Behavioral Health Services\u003c/a> pharmacy at 1380 Howard St. The pharmacy is open Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"safer-sex-sf-pride-testing\">\u003c/a>Hooking up with somebody new? Protect each other’s sexual health\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>For decades, Pride in San Francisco has been a time when LGBTQ+ people have come together \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfaf.org/resource-library/sfaf-history/\">to advocate for the health needs of their community\u003c/a>. Part of celebrating Pride is honoring that legacy and protecting our own sexual health and that of our partners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the most important things one can do before initiating a new sexual relationship is to get screened for HIV and STIs (sexually transmitted infections) and to know your status,” said Dr. Stephanie Cohen, director of HIV and STI prevention at the San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you have insurance, call your health care provider and share that you need to know your status ahead of Pride weekend. And if you are uninsured, multiple clinics around the Bay Area offer free or low-cost STI testing.

She acknowledges these talks can sometimes be a bit awkward, especially if you are just getting to know the person. “Some people prefer to have those conversations via chat, especially if they’re meeting someone on an app,” she said. “That’s perhaps a little lower stress than a face-to-face conversation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And remember, these conversations don’t have to be a thorough examination of each other’s dating history. They can be pretty straightforward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Make sure to ask your partner if they’ve been tested, what prevention strategies they use and decide [on] condoms or something that you or your partner also want to use as an additional layer of protection,” Cohen said. “We always want to think about all these different options together.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was originally published on June 18.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

How do we keep each other safe?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Taking party drugs (molly, cocaine, ketamine, 2C-B or “tusi”) has become more dangerous in recent years as these drugs are now being laced with fentanyl more frequently. And while we’re certainly not encouraging folks to do drugs at Pride, we do hope this information can help reduce the risk of a bad trip or an accidental overdose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Before going out …\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First off, Cuadra said, check in with yourself now, before the weekend starts, about what type of experience you want to have. “If you’re being realistic with yourself and you would like to do some drugs this weekend,” he said, “that’s probably something you want to prepare for ahead of time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Making a decision now about what you want to do can keep you from making risky decisions later on, Cuadra said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You run a risk whenever you take any drugs, but I think the risk is heightened if you’re at a club and looking for drugs right there and then,” he said. “Maybe you don’t know the person that’s selling it to you at the club. You just might be a little bit more desperate for whatever you can get your hands on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cuadra adds that if you do buy drugs, it’s best to do so in advance and from someone you know and trust — which, in turn, gives you more time to test for fentanyl. Many party drugs are increasingly laced with fentanyl, many times without the user’s knowledge. A 2022 scientific study found that \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/09/14/1199396794/fentanyl-mixed-with-cocaine-or-meth-is-driving-the-4th-wave-of-the-overdose-cris\">nearly a third of overdoses reported nationwide in 2021 involved both fentanyl and stimulants such as \u003c/a>cocaine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if you were told by someone else that none of your drugs have fentanyl, it’s still a good idea to test them for yourself, Cuadra said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People who do drugs that are not opioids sometimes think, ‘Well, I’m not doing opioids, so why should I be testing for fentanyl?’” he said. “Unfortunately, more opioid overdoses happen with people who are not used to those drugs because your body hasn’t built up a tolerance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The nonprofit FentCheck \u003ca href=\"https://fentcheck.org/check-your-drugs-1\">provides a list of bars and other community spaces\u003c/a> that offer fentanyl test strips and Narcan. The group also has a \u003ca href=\"https://fentcheck.org/check-your-drugs\">step-by-step tutorial on using test strips\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>While you’re out …\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wherever you end up on Pride weekend, go with a group of friends. Even if you end up meeting someone else, Cuadra said, having your friends nearby can make the night less anxiety-inducing, especially if you’re having a bad trip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even if you’re taking a drug regularly, it might not have the desired effect that day,” he said. “It might just mean you’re in a different space, and it’s just nice to check in with someone and take whatever steps you need to get into a better headspace or a safer environment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Something else to consider bringing with you when going out: Narcan. Narcan is the brand name for a naloxone nasal spray that is administered to someone when they are experiencing an opioid overdose (including from fentanyl).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anyone can buy Narcan at a pharmacy without needing a prescription, and you can also get it free of charge at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sf.gov/location/behavioral-health-access-center-bhac\">San Francisco Department of Public Health’s Community Behavioral Health Services\u003c/a> pharmacy at 1380 Howard St. The pharmacy is open Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"safer-sex-sf-pride-testing\">\u003c/a>Hooking up with somebody new? Protect each other’s sexual health\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>For decades, Pride in San Francisco has been a time when LGBTQ+ people have come together \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfaf.org/resource-library/sfaf-history/\">to advocate for the health needs of their community\u003c/a>. Part of celebrating Pride is honoring that legacy and protecting our own sexual health and that of our partners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the most important things one can do before initiating a new sexual relationship is to get screened for HIV and STIs (sexually transmitted infections) and to know your status,” said Dr. Stephanie Cohen, director of HIV and STI prevention at the San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you have insurance, call your health care provider and share that you need to know your status ahead of Pride weekend.

She acknowledges these talks can sometimes be a bit awkward, especially if you are just getting to know the person. “Some people prefer to have those conversations via chat, especially if they’re meeting someone on an app,” she said. “That’s perhaps a little lower stress than a face-to-face conversation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And remember, these conversations don’t have to be a thorough examination of each other’s dating history. They can be pretty straightforward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Make sure to ask your partner if they’ve been tested, what prevention strategies they use and decide [on] condoms or something that you or your partner also want to use as an additional layer of protection,” Cohen said. “We always want to think about all these different options together.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was originally published on June 18.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
