If you’re using drugs every now and then, there are some key things you can ask yourself before, during and after the experience.
The next time you plan to use drugs, ask yourself:
Before
- How will the drug(s) affect you?
- How long will the effects last?
- How might you feel when the effects wear off?
During
- Who will you contact if something goes wrong?
- What are some risks that could happen from the drug(s) you plan to take?
- What can you do to mitigate these?
After
- How was the experience?
- Was your plan helpful?
- What went well? What would you change for next time?
