Risk minimisation

There is no such thing as zero risk when using drugs. However, if you take drugs, you can do a lot to minimise the risks as much as possible: Find out about the effects and interactions of the substances you want to take, avoid using new substances alone if possible and be careful when dosing and topping up.

Preparation is important

Pack what you need for low-risk consumption: your own tube for snorting and sterile syringes as well as filters and water for intravenous consumption if necessary. You should fill your GHB/GBL rations with a small syringe at home beforehand to avoid overdosing while high. If you want to limit the amount you consume, you can buy small containers for small amounts in online shops. Cocainespeed etc. If you are on HIV treatment, you should take enough medication with you. The party may last longer than planned.

 

Wait with the "refill"

It always depends on the drug, but it is generally recommended: Wait at least two hours before topping up, i.e. consuming the next dose. It is risky if you take too much or too soon - especially with GHB/GBL, as the substance has not yet fully developed its effect and this can lead to unpredictable increases in the effects.

 

If the stomach is full, it may take longer for the drug to take effect.

Make arrangements with your friends

If you take Chems at a party, someone you trust should be nearby. If friends are taking something, it is advisable for someone in the group to stay sober. Let each other know what you are swallowing, snorting or injecting - this makes it easier to help in an emergency. And if you go to a party together, leave it together. Don't leave anyone behind if they have taken drugs. If you haven't seen a friend for a while, check on them - maybe they need help.
