No drug is 100% safe to use. However, if you want to use drugs there are simple things you can do to reduce the risks associated with using them. Prepare your body - Eat a decent meal before you go out. Tell your mates if you are going to be using drugs, and which ones, in case anything goes wrong. Have a plan to get home safely - Stick a tenner in your shoe for a taxi (or a kebab). First times - The effects of some drugs can be very scary. Try to make sure you are in comfortable, familiar surroundings with people you trust. A club is frankly not the best place to atry a new drug for the first time. Go easy - Overdoses can be fatal. Allow time to feel the effects of what you have taken before you take more. Even if you've used the drug before, a different batch will have a different effect on you so start small. Avoid alcohol when using drugs, it will dehydrate you and make the comedown worse. Keep hydrated - Sip about a pint of water or soft drink per hour, especially when using ecstasy. Stay cool - Deaths from ecstasy are usually caused by heatstroke. Chill out, step outside and stop dancing to cool off. Know your body and do your research. If you're feeling ill or down drugs won't help. Watch your wallet - Drugs like cocaine are expensive and will leave you wanting more, which is bad news if you're trying to survive on a student loan. Don't share. Hepatitis C can be transmitted by sharing snorting equipment. Use your own note or straw. Don't mix - Mixing drugs is dangerous. Full stop. Don't forget the law! Carrying or supplying illegal drugs, even just giving them to your mates, can land you with a hefty fine, a criminal record or even jail sentence. Remember that many clubs have a zero tolerance policy.
