Safer Use

  • First test a third or half a pill.
  • Wait two hours for the effect to take effect before adding more.
  • With MDA, topping up is pointless, as it is effective for a long time even in small doses.
  • Refrain from mixed consumption.
  • Avoid alcohol, consume sufficient non-alcoholic beverages (3-5 dl per hour).
  • Take breaks from dancing at parties and get some fresh air in between.
  • Take regular breaks from consumption. The body needs time to recover.
