As a recreational drug user, one of the most important things you can do to stay safe is to only consume drugs obtained from a reliable source. If unsure of the origins of the drugs, it’s best to err on the side of caution and abstain from use. Additionally, it's important that you are aware of any potential interactions between your current prescriptions or medical conditions and new or different substances. When in doubt, talk to a doctor or pharmacist before consuming any new drug. Furthermore, using alone is always discouraged and avoiding situations that might lead to risk-taking behaviours is strongly advised when under the influence - like driving for example.

In order to stay safe while using drugs, the most important thing to do is be aware of your surroundings. Make sure you’re in a safe place where you won't be interrupted or overheard. Research the dosage and potential side effects of any drug you plan on taking, and only buy from reliable sources in order to make sure it's uncut and void of any foreign substances. Before using a drug for the first time, consider what will happen if something goes wrong– will there be help close by? It’s also essential to know what emergency resources are available in your area that you could access when necessary. Finally, make sure have supplies handy such as bottles of cold water or blankets that may come in handy when consuming particular substances. Being aware and prepared can help keep recreational drug users safe while having fun.
