Although ~~most~~ drugs are safe ~~to use~~ when the ~~user has good knowledge~~ of a ~~proper dosage, sometimes when~~ two or more ~~drugs are consumed at the same time, the unwanted consequences can be dangerous or even fatal~~.

Although many drugs are safe on their own, they can become dangerous and even life-threatening when combined with other substances. Certain combinations may be safe in low doses of each but still increase the potential risk of death. [https://www.google.com/ Independent research] should always be done to ensure that a combination of two or more substances is safe before consumption.

Drug related deaths most commonly occur when combining [[depressant]]s. Depressants affect parts of the brain that are responsible for respiration, and an overdose or combination of these drugs can result in fatal levels of [[respiratory depression]]. Death may also occur when a victim falls into deep enough unconsciousness to suffocate from their own vomit. Lying in the [[recovery position]] can prevent one from inhaling their own vomit.
