I personally don't think its a bad thing in itself, in some cases depending on the drug and the individual it might lead to addiction, which then sort of defeats the purpose but that's about it.

The actual base, there is no difference - I actually FIRMLY believe you ARE your own best doctor, and the rest are simply consultants. But what can matter a bit, is how close you look at what you are taking actually dose. For example, I know cannabis quickly lowers blood pressure, and that cause the fast heart rate, this in some people can cause a sort of paranoid feeling, but it's only your bodies natural reaction to having blood pressure lowered like that.
I am not going to say don't do that - I do too - what I am saying is you really should know all the details you can about exactly what reactions that has on what first.

To much alchol to quick and your kidneys carnt fillter it fast enough and you look a freak.it calms down after a hour or so but you want to crawl under a rock till it Gone. nnnnnnnnnnnow drinking fast on meds has a better % of bringing this on , so be warned.
