Walk It Through: The Overdose at the Party

A friend who will not wake up, a call for an ambulance, police in the room, and a small bag on the table.

At a party, a friend has taken something and cannot be woken.

Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.

Small amounts within the section's limits, found because help was sought. Larger amounts, drug delivery, and evidence found some other way are left to the pages.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
