Safe Party Pills Use
Like it or not, party pills have become something of a fixture in today’s party scene, and there is no shortage of people who are looking to purchase some for their next night out. While party pills remain legal in many countries all over the world and their use is quite safe–certainly a lot safer than the illegal alternatives–you do have to be aware that party pills can cause a number of mental and physical effects, some of which you may not be expecting. In order to take party pills safely then, here are a few of the results that you can expect from taking them, as well as how you can use them more safely.
Common party pill effects:
- Stimulation of the brain and nervous system
- A feeling of euphoria and alertness
- An increase in the heart rate and blood pressure
- A reduced appetite
In addition, here are some of the more unsavory effects of taking party pills:
- May cause hallucinations, convulsions, or shallow breathing in high doses
- Can irritate throat or nasal passages
- Can cause dehydration when used with alcohol
- May appear as amphetamines during drug testing
- Hang over effects can last as long as 4 days
Just like all psychoactive medications, party pills can cause a number of ill effects in susceptible individuals. In order to increase your margin of safety, the following is advised.
Abstinence is still the safest option
Be careful about mixing party pills with other substances. When combined in this manner, the results can be unpredictable and you greatly increase your risk of health complications.
Avoid using alcohol along with party pills as they can lead to dehydration and place an extra burden on your liver.
If you simply must drink alcohol, make sure that you drink plenty of water.
Make sure to eat a full meal before taking party pills. This will give you enough nutrients to counteract the effects of the pills and lessen the hang over you may feel the next day.
Make sure that you eat the day after taking party pills as well. Bananas are good options and you may blend them into smoothies if you are having trouble eating.
Make sure you follow manufacturer’s instructions strictly as printed on the label, and resist the urge to consume any more than is recommended.
A few things to keep in mind
You should be aware that many party pills contain BZP and TFNPP, which can pose a health risk for people that have heart or liver conditions, anorexia or any type of mental problem. You should also be careful about taking too much as there is only a small window between an effective dosage and one that can cause an overdose.
