Substance Misuse
It is quite common for people to experiment with substances and that experimentation may not necessarily lead to abuse. But it is a good idea to have a general knowledge of some of the reasons for using substances, the effects and how to use them safely. When you use drugs, there’s a chance that you could become dependent on them.
