Can useing drugs can kill you if you don't over does and its your first time?

Question

please help i think my friend is using drugs and i don't if it can kill i worry i really care about him help me to help him =....(

Answer 1

It kind of depends on what kind of drug it is (in reference to the can it kill him part). You need to find him help right away even though he will probably get angry at you for doing so. It is your responsibility as his friend to help him out here because he's probably not seeing things clearly. Talk to him first and find out if he is using.  

Answer 2

okay buddy,

you are talking to the wrong crowd.

you need to talk to the parents, school counselor,

police, doctor, etc.

if you are that concerned, then do it right.

Answer 3

Drugs may not kill him right away, but he is definitely killing off his brain cells every time he uses. Unless this person is willing to admit he has a problem, he won't quit. But you can let him know that you believe he's using and that you'd like him to stick around for a while. If he blows you off and you still care, let someone else know - like a school counselor. Then at least you can feel gratified that you did your part to help him even if he doesn't appreciate it now. In the future, he will.

Answer 4

on your first time, you have no idea of the quality of the drug, if it is contaminated with rat poison, or if it is enough to kill.

i don't know if he needs to go to the ER now, but he is playing a game of russian roulette.   (gambling on whether he lives or dies)

Answer 5

it depends on the type of drug. river phoenix did drugs once and it killed him right on the spot so take him to a hospital right away.

Answer 6

Unless your friend gets into an accident because of their impairment, no, your friend cannot die from drug usage unless he/she overdoses. Drug experimentation, aside from being against the law, is not always a bad thing. Many positive things can come from rational, responsible usage. You should encourage your friend to focus on responsibilities. If he/she is using to avoid reality all together, then he/she may have a problem. If that's the case, you may want to bring it to the attention of a teacher or parent.  

Answer 7

What is he doing that makes you believe him to be using?

Answer 8

it probs can kill you whether its the first time or not, you should get him some help. it doesnt have to be all your responsibility though, you could tell his family and they can help. good luck

Answer 9

It depends on the drug they are using. No drug is a good drug, but some have less possibility for death than others.

If he's just smoking pot, it's not going to kill him. It may make him lazy and unmotivated to do anything, but it won't kill him.

If he's doing pills, you need to confront him. It will probably not kill him unless he is stupid, but they have a very high rate of addiction, which could ultimately lead to his death.

Anything harder than that, you need to confront him immediately, and if he is non responsive, you need to go over his head and talk to someone that could help him!

Answer 10

Rather than asking us, who are all pretty much untrained in this area, call an ambulance and get him to hospital. In the UK we have a NHS Direct which is a telephone number from the National Health Service where you can ask for advice and information. If you have something like that then call them and they'll figure out whether your friend needs the hospital or not.

But if you really love your friend you'll take him to hospital RIGHT NOW. If he gets in trouble for the drugs, thats better than him loosing his life over it.

Answer 11

If you are really his friend you will get his family involved. Be there for him through the tough times. DON'Tgive in to the whole drug scene it is not cool. You have got to be tough for him.

Answer 12

it depends on how much of an overdose... i wouldn't do anything drastic just yet... he might need to drink some water.

Answer 13

i may kill him but if he tries it for the first time he is going to be adicted to it!!!

he shouldnt do it

Answer 14

the best thing you can do is dis-own him. He will drag you down too.

When he sees the light and wants a new life free of drugs you want to have your life in control so you can help.

If you are under 21 and have a friend on drugs DISOWN THEM.  

Answer 15

Dude, it sounds like your the one on drugs. Learn to use correct grammar.  

Answer 16

yes get help for your friend but dont let your friend get you mixed up with drugs  if your friend wont get help you my have to let that friend go you dont need that on your plate

Answer 17

yes if your doctor proscribed the wrong dose

Answer 18

yeah you can, you can get rela high real fast since you have low tolerance for the drug since it's your first time and do something stupid like walk in traffic or even take more drugs and OD  

Answer 19

What kind of drugs are you talking about?

Answer 20

Some drugs can kill a person even when they take a dose that they have taken in the past. This is especially true for some inhalants (see article below), but not limited to inhalants. To use any of them is like playing Russian Roulette -- and for all intents and purposes, any harmful or lethal dose would be an overdose.

Answer 21

It depends what kind of drugs they are...but they can all be dangerous.

Answer 22

Depends on the drug.

Answer 23

Some drugs like extacy, meth and crack or cocaine can kill a person the first time they use them.

Answer 24

It will definitely kill brain cells.

Answer 25

Yes -- any one time could kill someone.  You never know how a body will react, if there is an interaction with other meds, or if the drugs are bad.

Answer 26

define drugs

Answer 27

Yes using a drug one time CAN kill you.

Answer 28

Yes it can.

Answer 29

hospital!!!!

Answer 30

Drugs have the ability to weaken your brain as well as kill. Everyone's body is different and react to stimuli in a different way. My advice is to stay away from this friend util he stops using drugs. Because it is easier to fall into the type of life style if your surrounded by poeple that are in it. God bless. I hope you make the right decision.
