DRUGS

More young people are using drugs in ​party environments than ever before. It ​could be life-saving for you to know how ​to respond to a drug-related emergency ​at Schoolies/Leavers.

The effects of drugs can be unpredictable ​- some people may collapse or ​experience panic attacks, overheating ​and dehydration, drowsiness, ​hallucinations, seizures and in some ​extreme cases permanent injury or death.

Our advice is there is never a safe ​environment or time to experiment ​with drugs. If your friend is having a ​reaction to a drug they have taken, the ​best thing you can do is call 000 and ​place them in the recovery position! This ​call could save your mate’s life!
