Be careful. Blood pressure likely to elevate. Be prepared to go to an ER. Seizure and stroke and death a possibility (depends on the individual and the drug). Safer to gradually cut back, but harder to do in practice unless enforced by another party...but who would want to accept that responsibility when professionals are available and the ethical and legal responsibilities are overwhelming. Best bet...check into a detox clinic. On the other hand, going through withdrawal may be scary enough to not want to go through it again. Follow up the detox clinic with enforced abstinence by several other parties and strict isolation from the drug of choice. Then, FIND SOMETHING MORE FUN to DO THAT is SAFE. Otherwise....

Depends on what type of drug and how bad the withdraw systems are. withdrawals can kill you so i would talk to a doctor about it before attempting it on your own
