Caution
- Cannabis
- Cannabis has an unexpectedly strong and somewhat unpredictable synergy with psychedelics. Small amounts can reduce nausea with aMT but take care.
- Caffeine
- High doses of caffeine may cause anxiety which is less manageable when tripping, and since both are stimulating the combination may cause some physical discomfort.
- Alcohol
- aMT has a broad mechanism of action in the brain and so does alcohol so the combination can be unpredictable
Low Risk & No Increased Effects
- Opioids
- No unexpected interactions
