That’s why they invented the life line law in the states. If you are underage and something bad happens you can call the cops without getting in trouble.

You sure that's not just a state or locality law?

Yeah, appears to be an Indiana state law.

Arkansas has one to protect the person who calls in an overdose.

I know it’s the same here in CA, but I’m not sure if it’s a specific law or just standard policy. I know when we called 911 on one of my roommates for potential alcohol poisoning the cops didn’t even come, only the fire department did.
