Definition

Responsible Drug Use—a harm-reduction philosophy that emphasizes rational, occasional substance use combined with thorough knowledge of side effects and potential interactions. It's about minimizing damage rather than encouraging recklessness.

Example Usage

I'm all for RDU; I research every substance, test my drugs, and never mix medications without checking interactions first.
