I'm an intermediate. Yes, I do have my own jump kit but the ONLY medications that are in it are activated charcoal, glucose gel, aspirin and benadryl.
I do not carry any narcotics or any other type of drug. I do carry normal saline though...sterile water. This has a number of uses.
Drug boxes are kept on the rigs and do not go home with anyone. They are sealed and once that seal is broken, the box must be returned for checking, restocking and sealing.
