Interactions
If there’s one thing that can really be dangerous, it’s mixing drugs. We’ve compiled here the safety profiles of various mixes with cocaine (legal and illegal), but don’t swear by them. If you’re taking prescribed medication, be extremely wary when taking recreational drugs. These interactions are often poorly researched and you will definitely not be warned by your doctor about it.
This tool is based on the TripSit drug combinations chart as well as our own additional research, cited at the end of each tailored message. We can’t stress enough that you should always do additional research before mixing drugs. Everyone is different and you can still have an adverse reaction even if the combination is marked as low risk.
