Walk It Through: The Overdose at the Party

A friend who will not wake up, a call for help, pills on the table, and a teenager who drank.

At a house party, a guest cannot be woken after taking pills. Others in the room have pills and beer too.

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

A party where drugs and alcohol were present. Selling or giving the drugs that caused the overdose, a death, and evidence found independently are not worked through here.

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