#prevention tips

Your kit is a tool that can help you prevent hepatitis and other blood-transmitted infections. 

Regular crack use can lead to burns and cuts on your fingers and lips and in your mouth. 

Open wounds make it easy to transmit the viruses and bacteria which may be on works that someone else has used.

So be careful not to lend your kit out or borrow a kit from someone else. 

PREPARING YOUR WORKS:

STEP 1: Insert the metal filters into the pyrex pipe. You need to put in at least three so you don’t lose your rock. 

STEP 2: Compress the filters using the stick while bracing the opposite end of the pipe against a hard surface. Then turn the pipe over and compress the filters again through the other end of the pipe. When the filters are properly compressed, push them to 1cm from one end of the pipe. 

STEP 3: Place a tip or mouth piece at the end of the pipe, opposite of the filters.

PRO TIP: Inhale the smoke from the tip. Don’t let your lips or fingers touch the pyrex pipe directly; this protects them from burns and cuts. Try to avoid sharing the tip or mouth piece of your pipe. 

The Pyrex Pipe: Let the pipe cool down before re-using or cleaning it. Clean your pipe regularly with the stick and change the filters as soon as they’re blackened, or as often as necessary. Don’t re-use your pyrex pipe if it’s chipped or broken. 

You works are for your personal use. Try to avoid sharing or borrowing from others. 

Remember: 

Don’t forget to drink lots of water or juice. Crack really dehydrates.

Take the time to eat. Crack suppresses your appetite. 

Try to relax or sleep, especially if you’ve been on a run. Crack can suppress the feeling of fatigue. 

It’s best not to pack your rock with ash, because the ash can enter your lungs and cause serious injury

Change your filters regularly so they don’t deteriorate and damage your lungs.

Any drug that you get a rush (heroin, methadone, alcohol, etc.) just like cocaine itself, can lead to overdose. 

If you spit up blood, start coughing a lot, or experience an epileptic-type fit (convulsions) see a doctor right away. 

Use a condom when having sex.

Tips for Preparation:

Try to prepare your works in a calm environment

Wash your hands regularly. If you have no soap, use an alcohol pad.

Don’t put your rocks in your mouth-this will help you avoid problems such as infections, the deterioration of your tooth enamel, etc. 

Lip balm can help keep your lips healthy

Out of respect, when you use, leave the location clean afterwards. You can put your old or broken pipe in a solid container, like a pop bottle, or dispose of it in an outdoor sharps container, or hand it in at a site that distributes prevention material. (needle exchange)

Don’t hold your puff too long!!! You can really damage your lungs like this.
