Recognize suspicious behavior: Look for individuals exhibiting unusual lethargy, impaired coordination, or erratic behavior. Report any concerns to resort security or local law enforcement immediately. This proactive approach helps maintain a safe environment for everyone.
Know the Signs
Cocaine: Increased energy, restlessness, and paranoia are common indicators. MDMA (Ecstasy): Expect heightened euphoria, empathy, and jaw clenching. Cannabis: Reddened eyes, impaired judgment, and slowed reaction times are typical. Alcohol: Slurred speech, staggering gait, and impaired coordination are obvious signs of excessive consumption. Early detection is key to intervention.
Avoid risky situations: Refrain from accepting drinks or drugs from strangers. Stick with your friends and stay in well-lit, populated areas. Consider using a buddy system – having a friend to look out for you and vice versa. This reduces the risk of dangerous situations significantly.
Seek Help
If you or someone you know is struggling with drug use, seek professional help. Resort staff can often provide contact information for local support organizations and medical services. Don’t hesitate to reach out – your safety and wellbeing are paramount. Many resorts offer confidential support services.
Prioritize your safety: Pack a first-aid kit with essential medications, and stay hydrated. Dress appropriately for the weather conditions to minimize risk of hypothermia or frostbite, which can further impair judgment and increase vulnerability.
Responsible Alcohol Consumption
Pace yourself, eat before and while drinking, and alternate alcoholic beverages with water. Designated drivers are crucial for safe transportation. Avoid excessive alcohol use, especially at high altitudes where it affects the body more quickly. Plan ahead for your transportation before you start drinking.
