W.I.R.E. is an educational resource. Its content — including substance profiles, statistics, tools, and harm-reduction information — is for general informational purposes only and is not medical, clinical, psychological, or professional advice. It is not a substitute for diagnosis or treatment by a qualified professional. Never disregard or delay seeking professional advice because of something you read here.

Where this site describes ways to reduce risk, that information exists to help keep people safer — it is never an endorsement, encouragement, or instruction to use any substance. We do not promote or supply any substance. Decisions you make are your own.

Interactive features such as the savings calculator and the “baseline check” reflection are educational self-reflection tools, not medical tests, screenings, or diagnostic instruments. They cannot and do not tell you whether you have any condition. Their outputs are estimates and prompts for thought only.

If you or someone else may be in danger — overdose, trouble breathing, unconsciousness, or thoughts of self-harm — call 911 immediately. For free, confidential support any time, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or 1-800-662-4357 (SAMHSA). This website is not a crisis service and cannot respond to emergencies.

The interactive tools run entirely in your browser. The numbers and answers you enter are not collected, stored, transmitted, or tracked by us, and they clear when you reload the page. We do not ask for your age or personal information to use the tools.

We work to cite every statistic to an authoritative source and to keep information current, but we make no warranty that all content is complete, accurate, or up to date. Links to outside organizations are provided for convenience; we are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or practices.
