Reduce Your Risks

Choose not to use alcohol or other drugs, this is the safest choice you can make.

Plan ahead; don’t drive home if you are impaired (stay overnight, take a cab, call a parent).

Never ride with someone impaired, whether it be by alcohol, marijuana, or any other drug.

Do NOT engage in physical activity while impaired (swimming, skateboarding, etc).

Know your risks before trying any drug and be aware of the effects and consequences.

Avoid mixing drugs, their effects are more severe when combined and potentially deadly.

Know the signs of drug-related problems and be prepared to call for help.

Drink slowly if you choose to drink alcohol, limiting yourself to 1 drink every 2 hours.

Try alternating non-alcoholic drinks between drinks.
