LSD and MDMA — Candyflipping Defined- DATOS

“Candyflipping” means when you take two drugs, MDMA (also called ecstasy or Molly) and LSD (a popular psychedelic), together. People in the UK came up with this word. It makes you feel a very strong and unique way. Even though the word is new, people have been mixing these drugs for a long time.

But not a lot of research has been done about it. There are some known dangers, like the risk of getting addicted.

Why Do People Mix These Drugs

People mix drugs like candyflipping because it makes the effects of LSD and MDMA stronger when taken together. Many users first take LSD, ketamine, magic mushrooms, or PCP, and then a few hours later, they take MDMA. This combination can make them feel very intense highs. But if you don’t have much experience with these drugs, it can make you feel really bad.

This mix of drugs can also be risky in certain situations. Even if you’ve used these drugs before, you can’t be sure if your LSD trip will be good or bad. LSD is a very strong drug, and when you mix it with MDMA, you might feel really negative things like being scared or paranoid.

People usually take MDMA after LSD to feel happier and more euphoric, but it doesn’t always work that way. Sometimes, it can make you feel bad, especially if you’re already feeling mentally fragile. You might have negative thoughts and panic, which can be really bad for your mental health.

What Happens When You Candyflip

We don’t have a lot of research on candyflipping. Most studies were done in the ’80s and ’90s when people started doing this mix of drugs. But lately, people are getting interested in it again, and they talk about it on social media.

In 2020, the NIH did a study to see what happens when you take LSD by itself and when you take it with MDMA. People said they felt good when they took these drugs, but some bad things can happen too, like:

  • Thinking that people are out to get you
  • Not trusting others
  • Feeling really anxious

These bad things can happen depending on:

  • How much of the drugs you take
  • Who you are and how you usually act
  • Where you are when you take the drugs

Dangers of Mixing LSD and MDMA

Even though scientists are looking into how MDMA and LSD can help with certain mental health problems, they only use small amounts in very controlled situations. This is not something you should try on your own. If you try to use LSD and MDMA to treat yourself, it can be really bad and dangerous.

There are a lot of safety worries about taking too much of these drugs. For example, MDMA can mess up your body’s ability to control your temperature and can harm your liver, kidneys, and heart. Some people even die from these effects, especially if they get really dehydrated.

When you lose touch with what’s real and don’t know what time it is because of these drugs, you might not be able to take care of your health problems.

If you already have a weak heart or some health problems, having a high body temperature and a fast heartbeat can be very dangerous. Among people who use MDMA, the main reason they die is because they get too hot, but there are other bad things that can happen too.

Mixing LSD and MDMA can be really bad if you’re not drinking enough water, your body is getting too hot, and you’re feeling like you’ve lost touch with reality.

It’s not good to keep using drugs to get a stronger and longer high, especially if it’s causing problems in your life. Addiction is likely to happen when you do this. Different people have different reasons for using drugs, but getting hooked on them both physically and mentally is a big part of it.

After using these drugs for a while, if you stop, you might feel really down, have trouble sleeping, get moody, forget things, have a hard time focusing, feel anxious, get easily annoyed and angry, and want to use the drugs again. These feelings can last for a week or more.

Some of the effects you feel might happen because you mixed MDMA with other drugs like marijuana or LSD.

When you take LSD or other drugs like it with MDMA, the time when the drugs wear off can be really tough. It can last a whole day or more, and you might feel the symptoms mentioned earlier, as well as being really scared and paranoid.

If you already have a mental health problem like depression or PTSD, this tough time can be even harder. There’s also a worry that it might be hard to concentrate and pay attention, especially if your job is risky, like driving or working with machinery.

The government’s data shows that the number of people who died at work because of taking too much of these drugs went up by 24% every year from 2011 to 2018. Out of those deaths, 41% were because of using drugs without a doctor’s help, and 32% were because of taking different drugs together.

How to Tell if You’re Addicted to LSD or MDMA

If you’re using drugs like LSD and MDMA a lot, either together or separately, you might have an addiction problem. MDMA is a drug that’s considered very risky and can easily lead to addiction.

Studies show that addiction starts to mess with your brain because these substances affect how your brain chemicals, like dopamine and serotonin, work. Many people feel like they can’t stop using the drugs, and it’s hard for them to regain control over their drug use without getting some help.

If you’re worried that you might have a problem with drugs like LSD or MDMA, look out for these signs:

  • You spend most of your day using the drug, trying to find it, or thinking about it.
  • You keep using the drug even if it causes problems like getting in trouble with the law, losing your job, or not being able to take care of your children.
  • Your physical appearance changes a lot, or you start sleeping differently, or you gain or lose a lot of weight because of the drug.
  • You often get into trouble with the police, like fighting or driving when you’re not supposed to.
  • You don’t do the things you’re supposed to do, like going to work or school, or taking care of your kids. This usually comes with money problems.
  • You use drugs like LSD or MDMA just to avoid feeling sick when you’re not using them, and you need more and more of the drug to feel the same effects.

Your personality, mood, and motivation change a lot.
