=== Health risks ===
Intoxication play can present significant risk of harm or death. The specific health risks depend on the substance(s) involved and how the desired or undesired effects may interact with the context in which they are used. However, due to the illegal nature and social stigma of many substances, practical information to inform responsible use is often lacking from direct peer-reviewed evidence. Thus, many people rely on other resources such as [https://erowid.org/ Erowid] or [https://psychonautwiki.org/ PsychonautWiki] along with communities such as [https://bluelight.org Bluelight] or [https://drugs-forum.com/ Drugs-forum]. RACKWiki intends to add to augment these resources by adding information about how substance use and the properties and risks of specific substances intersect with erotic use.
In general, it is important to understand several key pieces of information about a substance prior to engaging in any use, but especially use which involves compounded risk with erotic or kink-related activity.
=== Legal risks ===
In most jurisdictions, intoxicated people are not able to give or withdraw legal consent, even if intoxication was caused voluntarily. Intoxication is usually prima facie evidence of nonconsentuality, so criminal liability easily attaches to any scene involving intoxicants.
