C Give yourself a good talking to, eat something and buy a bus and tram card.
4 You’ve gotten your hands on a good-sized hit. What do you do?
A You put the whole thing in the pipe at once and smoke it as fast as you can.

Less than 18 points – Beginner
You still have to discover more about getting a hold on your drug use. You have good intention, but practice makes perfect, so don’t be discouraged by your score. Work as it and try taking the test again in a couple of weeks.
18 to 24 points – Advanced
You’re on the right track. Sometimes you really succeed at being the boss on drugs, other times not so much. Spend some time thinking about when you lose control so you can gain the upper hand on your use. You have it in you, so keep at it!
24 to 30 points – Master
You’re very much in control of your drug use, and you know what you’re doing. Keep it up and share what you know with your friends. Others can learn from you, so be proud of yourself.
