The best practices for safely using recreational drugs include using harm reduction methods such as getting the pure drug substance tested by a reputable lab to ensure the purity and dosage; avoiding combining drugs; having access to naloxone, just in case; drinking plenty of water and rest periods between sessions; knowing one’s limit; preparing snacks in advance, like apples or granola bars, should the need for sustenance arise. Additionally, it is recommended to have a safe space with pillows or mats in case someone experience an emergent medical scenario while taking a recreational drug. Other than this it is also advisable to follow the advice from trusted sources and be aware of potential impurities that may be present.
