Ecstasy, Cutting the Risks Although ecstasy is illegal and dangerous if you’re gonna take it here are some ways of avoiding problems.  Keep yourself fit- Look after your health
- Eat a good meal full of energy three hours before taking it, anything closer and you will throw up
- Don’t drink alcohol when taking it and don’t mix with other drugs
- Avoid buying drugs from people you can’t trust or who look suspect
- Avoid buying suspicious looking pills
- Look around the club before taking the pill so you know where the toilets are, where to get water from and where to chillout
- Take advantage of any ecstasy testing facilities a club might have them, some do have them you know
- Don’t take too much at one time, stagger the use, take half a tablet at first to see how it affects you
 Be with friends when you’re coming up and look out for each other- Sip water regularly, have about a pint an hour
- Don’t drive
- Avoid heatstroke by keeping cool, chilling out and drinking fluid
- Be prepared for the comedown and don’t use other drugs to get through it
