Drug Use and You
Gay and bisexual men have many motivations for recreational substance use.
For some, using substances is perceived as the “cool” thing to do. Others may see substance use as something done to make some weekends more special than others (like Pride weekend).
Some try it simply out of curiosity, or do it to enhance the music and the dancing while partying. Others do it to become more sociable, to feel a sense of belonging or connection with others.
Whatever your reason(s) for using substances, find out more on how you can reduce some of the risks associated with certain club drugs, like K, E, cocaine, GHB, crystal or poppers.
