Safer Crack\ Methamphetamine Inhalant Tips:Everyone should have their own pipe. Use glass ifpossible. Metal pipes heat up fast and plastic ones cangive off poisonous vapours.Use several screens in the pipe. Place screens level withthe tip of the stem, break up the rock, and sprinkle ontothe screen. Replace screens as often as possible.Touch the flame to the stem briefly to melt the rockinstead of concentrating the heat, and move the flamealong the stem to spread out the heat.Clean your pipe regularly, when it’s cool!Avoid sharing pipes. If you must share, clean the mouthpiece with alcohol wipes. Allow time for the pipe to coolbefore using it againUse Chapstick or Vaseline on your lips to keep them fromcracking and burning. This helps stop the spread ofdiseases like HIV, Hepatitis B & C, TB and herpesVaseline is for your lips only! For protection during sex,use a latex condom covered with water-based lubeAlways use a latex condom when having sex or giving ablow-job, and make sure you don’t have Vaseline on yourlips (can cause latex to break)Chew sugar-free gum to stop your teeth from grindingMake a mouth-piece with an elastic band, or piece of tape,so you don’t hurt your lips, or catch someone else’s germsTake care of yourself & drink lots of water!Source: Safer Crack Coalition, Toronto, ONhttp://www.canadianharmreduction.com/readmore/facts_crack_kits.pdfFor more information, alcohol wipes, condoms/lube, etc.,call Superior Points: 625-8830, 625-8831, 625-7996.ADDITIONAL SOURCES OF INFORMATIONSUPERIOR POINTS HARM REDUCTION PROGRAMProtocols for Staff, Volunteers and Community Agencies42
