Overdose

{Keep yourself and your friends safe}

Since antiquity, humans have consumed intoxicating substances for either pleasure or pain, and the fear of a drug overdose has haunted society ever since. Depictions of drug overdoses are often shown in many parts of popular culture and film, and regularly reported in news headlines. An overdose (or simply an OD) is often both dangerous and terrifying, and rather worryingly, drug-related deaths (especially from opioids) have been on the rise in the USA and UK.
