'''Responsible drug use''' is a set of diverse ideas and practices based on the premise that recreational substances can be used in a healthy and responsible manner by consenting adult individuals. It is closely related to the concept of '''harm reduction''', which seeks to minimize the risks and hazards of psychoactive substances while maximizing their benefits via education and training. ~~ZDECHNIJ KURWO!~~

It is closely related to the concept of '''harm reduction''', which seeks to minimize the risks and hazards of psychoactive substances while maximizing their benefits via education and training.

According to the harm reduction approach, recreational substance use is first-and-foremost to be understood as a high-risk activity that inherently involves the risk of addiction, serious bodily injury, and death ~~if you're stupid~~. Therefore, the most pragmatic strategy an individual can adopt — other than complete abstinence, which may not always be realistic or desirable — is to carefully research each substance and take practical steps to reduce the risks and harms associated with using it, until the benefits outweigh the cost.

Recreational drug use may be viewed in a similar light as other risky-but-enriching activities, particularly extreme sports such as sailing, skiing, skydiving, surfing, and mountain climbing. More mundanely, it may also be compared to driving a car, riding a motorcycle, or flying in an airplane.
