            What are the risks?     

Candyflipping appears to increase the potency of MDMA, which increases your risk of experiencing negative — and potentially dangerous — effects.

In addition to all the effects discussed above, there are two other big ones to know about if you’re considering candyflipping.

Hydration issues

LSD can enhance the effects of MDMA. This can increase your risk of dehydration and heatstroke, both of which have been linked to most MDMA-related deaths.

To avoid this, you’ll need to stay hydrated and avoid too much physical activity. However, water intoxication is another risk with MDMA. This happens when you drink too much water too quickly.

MDMA can significantly raise your body temperature, especially if you’re dancing, leading some people to overdo it with the water.

Bad trip

Having a bad trip is always a risk when it comes to taking LSD. Adding MDMA into the equation can make the experience more intense and longer-lasting. Your risk of having a bad trip might also be greater if you have an underlying mental health condition.

Safety tips

It’s best to avoid mixing LSD and MDMA since there are so many unknowns. If you’re going to candyflip, though, there are a few important things you can do to reduce your risk of some negative effects.

Before using either or both substances:

• Know the signs of an overdose. If you’re going to use substances or be around people who do, you need to know how to spot the signs of an adverse reaction or overdose. Call 911 if you or someone has a high body temperature, fast or irregular heart rate, trouble breathing, extreme aggression or paranoia. Seizures and loss of consciousness are also possible.
• Test your drugs. You should always test your drugs to make sure what you’ve been given isn’t counterfeit or contaminated. Drug test kits can be purchased online and are often sold at music festivals.
• Start low, go slow. This is always good advice. Your risk of a bad trip or serious effects is increased at higher doses. Sticking to a low dose is key, especially if you’ve never candyflipped before. Make sure you give that low dose enough time to kick in before taking more.
• Have a trip sitter. A trip sitter is someone you trust — preferably a sober someone — who’ll look out for you while you’re partying. Ideally, they should know how to spot the signs of trouble in case things go south.
• Pick your environment. Since the effects can be unpredictable and hallucinations are a good possibility, you should be somewhere safe and familiar should you find yourself in trouble.
• Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water before, during, and after to avoid heat exhaustion and dehydration. This will also make you less likely to consume a bunch of water in one sitting, putting you at risk of water intoxication.
