Responsible drug use: Difference between revisions

Line 6:

If one knows the exact effects of the drug in advance, then they will know what to expect. This is something which significantly reduces the chances of a negative experience by a huge margin through the prevention of unexpected circumstances.

==Dosage==

An extremely important rule when it comes to using substances responsibly is to avoid dosages which one is uncomfortable or unfamiliar with at all costs. An inexperienced user should always be starting at very low dosages with the goal of working their way up in small increments, as they feel comfortable doing so. This should be done by slightly increasing the dosage with each separate experience and never taking great leaps into the unknown. Doing so allows people to get a feel for the substance that they are using in a controlled setting before they dive into deeper states. This minimizes the risk of an accidental negative experience enormously as although dosage guidelines exist, it is important to remember that everybody reacts differently to every substance depending on their own personal tolerance and neurochemistry.

Choosing an appropriate and safe place for a person to undergo the effects of a substance is extremely important and plays a huge factor in determining the outcome of a experience. The best place for an inexperienced user is a familiar, safe and indoors environment that is completely devoid and free of certain factors which can cause a direct negative influence. These factors include:

*Ensuring that one is completely free of responsibilities during the experience and the day after as the simplest of tasks will become incredibly difficult and sometimes stressful under the influence of intoxicating substances. One should be relaxing and remaining comfortable, not performing chores. This includes driving and operating heavy machinery for obvious reasons.

*Avoiding people who are irrelevant as they should not be present throughout the duration of the experience. This includes parents who are sleeping in the same house and close friends who are anything but extremely trust worthy and understanding. The mere presence of people can be very anxiety inducing for many individuals.

*Avoiding potentially dangerous, loud, unfamiliar and public environments. This should be fairly obvious but is often overlooked, you should not be under the influence of mind altering substances in a town centre, house party or bar as an inexperienced user under any circumstances.
