The specific drug you take, your mental and physical state, and the environment you take the drug in can all influence your experience.
Drug
- The effects of the drug
- How the drug is used (e.g., injected, smoked, snorted)
- How strong the drug is
- How the drug interacts with other drugs or medications you've taken
Set
- Your physical health and body size
- Your mental and emotional state
- What you expect to experience from the drug
- Your prior experience with the drug
Setting
- The environment you are in and how safe it is
- The people around you
- The legality around using the drug
- The support available to you if something goes wrong
How could you change the drug, set or setting to prevent problems?
What else could you try next time to be safer?
