Drug Refusal Skills
There are eight refusal skills you can use if someone offered you drugs: you can say “No thanks,” give a reason or an excuse, walk away, change the subject, a repeated refusal, ignoring the perpetrator, avoid the situation, or surround yourself with friends who make good choices. If the person offering drugs continues the offer, call for help from an adult or the police. If it’s hard to say “no” to drugs, talk to an older person or seek help from a therapist or a hotline.
