Best Advice To Potential Overdose Victims
1. To change your mood
2. To get high
3. Because your friends are doing it
4. In combination with other mind-altering
substances, particularly alcohol
5. To cope with stress
6. To escape
7. In a party situation
8. Alone, with potential help unavailable
9. For the first time and you are unfamiliar
with it
10. At a dose higher than you are used to (or
you don’t know how strong it is)
11. When you have health issues that might
affect your breathing or your ability to
metabolize the drug
12. And you don’t know about Naloxone (for
opiates) and it’s not available anyway
The possibility that you may kill yourself is VERY high. Proceed at your own risk and do not blame the drug (you took it, it didn’t take you).
Relax – if you kill yourself, your parents will blame the drug, not you. And they will think about you every day for the rest of their lives.
