- The effects can be very alarming which will feel worse if you are already feeling anxious or depressed.
- Excessive doses carry a small risk of breathing problems or heart failure.
- Ketamine is very dangerous when mixed with alcohol or other drugs.

PLAY IT SAFE. Drugs can severely damage your physical and mental health. They can get you in to trouble with the law and even kill you. But if you do decide to use drugs, reduce the risks by finding out as much as you can about the effects, risks, etc. and then decide if it's really worth it. If you do decide to use drugs keep these points in mind: - If you're dancing wear light clothing.
- The smaller you are the less drugs you need to get the same effect, but where you are and the mood you are in will also affect the way you'll react.
- Don't score off strangers; poor quality drugs can give you bad trips.
- Mixing drugs and alcohol can be fatal.
- Never drive if you have had drugs.
- Always carry a condom; never risk unprotected sex.
