Some US States, and I believe Minnesota is one of them, give you immunity to criminal charges if you call in an OD. It's not absolute but it covers the main ones people are worried about like possession and probation/parole violations.If you O.D., they probably won't call 911 or even drop you off somewhere because that might mean they get arrested on outstanding warrants and/or catch new charges.
The problem comes in is that there's a Federal Law with a Mandatory Minimum of 20 years in prison if you're found to be "responsible" for selling drugs to someone that ends up dying in an overdose. It's supposed to go after the "real dealers" but spouses and partners have been convicted over it. Basically, the feds show up to your door real fast if someone dies of an alleged OD at your residence and threaten you with a couple decades in prison to try to get you to cough up names.
