QUESTION 1/6

In the popular song "Time to Pretend" by the indie rock band MGMT they sing: I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin And f*** with the stars.

QUESTION 1/6

Explanation

To "shoot" a drug refers to using it intravenously, that means that a needle is inserted directly into a vein to inject the drug. Injecting a drug has more risks than other routes of administration due to the risk of infection and injuries. The bioavailability of an injected drug is 100%, meaning that the effects may occur more quickly and/or be stronger.

Lyrics vs. Reality

knowledge is power

Respect Your Rhythm

Dance to your own beat. Don't let music dictate your choices – you're in control of your actions.

Remember, music often exaggerates reality. What sounds cool in a song might not be cool in real life. Trust your instincts.

The more you know about substance use, the better equipped you are to make informed decisions that prioritize your health and well-being.
