What can you do if you think someone you know taking drugs?
First of all it is probably best to have a sit down with them and ask them about it, don’t get angry and explain that you are concerned for their health. If the individual denies taking drugs but you still have a strong belief that they are, ask them to take a drugs test to verify they don’t take drugs. But, if they take drugs they are less likely to do it voluntarily and unfortunately a lot of tests depend upon the person’s cooperation. In this case it is best to get some advice from a doctor or a drugs specialist.
