We would always advise against taking drugs and we have no intention of normalising drug-taking. However, if you or a friend chooses to take drugs, the following can help you avoid as much harm as possible. This advice comes from reputable external sources:
  • Never mix drugs and never take drugs if you've been drinking alcohol
  • Never take drugs with people you don't know or in unfamiliar environments
  • Always tell someone you're with what you've taken - if something goes wrong they'll need to know so you can get the right medical attention
  • Start off small - take a very small amount - the purity of drugs can mean that some might be stronger than you anticipate

If you think that you or a friend have developed an unhealthy relationship with drugs and would like to seek advice or help for this, please see the links below;
