Have a Plan
Organise a Plan B,
stay together with your mates and have a safe word to identify if you need help.
Mind the Conditions
Being outdoors,
a hot day at a music festival, or sweating it up on the dancefloor can alter the effects of what you take and increase body temperature.
Set Your Limits
If you plan to use alcohol or drugs, set your own limit or reduce the quantity you plan to take.
Who Know's Where You Are?
Map out your journey and let someone know:
WHERE you're going,
HOW you're getting there,
WHO you're with.
STICK together!
Know Your Stuff
Research what you are planning to take and its effect's, so you know what to expect.
Inform yourself of signs of an overdose.
Call for Help (000)
This can make all the difference in saving a friend or yourself.
Police usually won't get involved unless there is a threat to someone, a crime or death.
