How Big is the Risk?

How Risky is Saying Yes to Drug Use?

🌮🗣TACO Inc. provides you with the latest data from scientific research so that you can make informed decisions about your personal drug usage. Here, we outline a method for decision making about drug use on the basis of comprehensive risk evaluation 🤔

⚠️👀With any decision, there is the possibility of associated risks. Any potential risk can be broken down by considering both the Severity of potential outcomes and the Probability of an outcome occurring. The Severity and Probability can each be broken down into categories and assigned numeric values🧩

🤕💊The Severity of risk is the maximum amount of harm or damage that can be done by a drug. (Since we are considering risking our physical safety, we must take the worst possible outcomes into account in order to fully understand the risk.) These are the Levels of Severity from least to most severe: Negligible (1), Marginal (2), Critical (3), and Catastrophic (4) 💀

📊🤷The Probability is the likelihood that the outcome will occur. These are the Levels of Likelihood from least to most likely: Improbable (1), Remote (2), Occasional (3), Probable (4), and Frequent (5) ‼️

❎⚠️The overall degree of risk can be found by multiplying the severity level with the probability level. As a simple equation, Risk = Severity * Probability. The resulting number is your risk, which provides a concrete value that can help guide your decision on whether or not to say yes to taking a drug 👍

🤔🤝Hopefully, using this guide, you will have a more secure decision making process when it comes to drugs. A friendly reminder to never pressure your friends or try to influence them to do a psychoactive drug. Drug usage of any kind is an individual’s own decision👏
