How to party properly

MDMA / Ecstasy

Don’t use on your own. As far as possible make sure you are with your mates. If possible, this should include at least one person who has used before or one person who is relatively sober.

Go slowly. If you’re taking an ecstasy tablet and are unsure as to how strong it is then take a portion of it to start with and increase by the same amount eg. Start with a quarter so you get the feel of the potency. Similarly with MDMA – start low, go slow.

Don’t stack or redoes for at least three hours and avoid redosing at all if possible.

Don’t mix with other substances, including alcohol.

As far as possible stick to familiar surroundings. Avoid larger bodies of water, swimming pools etc. Don’t drive or cycle.

Try and be as sure as you can about quality and the source of your MDMA.

If you do feel poorly tell someone, get to a welfare tent or phone an ambulance. Medics are not judgemental and are there to help you, so phone an ambulance if you or a friend become really poorly.
