Is it safe to partake in athletics such as football while on methamphetamine?

Question

My friends is considering going to football pravtice about 30 minutes after smokin methamphetamines. Will this affect him any worse than just smoking it any other time?

Answer 1

Hi:

That's a little too much for the heart to handle.  Your friend is combining two things that put great strain on the heart... and he'll probably collapse a half hour into practice.  You should advise him against it. It's not safe at all.  

Answer 2

Your friend is probably interested in doing meth before playing football because this drug gives people a feeling of excitement, increased energy and altertness, a greater sense of strength and confidence.

The problem with these seemingly great feelings is the fact that although your friend will feel like superman... he's not. He is way more susceptable to serious injury because his brain will make him do things that his body is incapable of. Also, he's less likely to take care of himself physically, like drinking enough water for example, or overexurting himself.

He could easily over work himself and pass out. If no one knows he was on drugs, the ambulence won't know how to treat him.

It's cool that you want to look out for your friend, so just tell him to kick his drug habit... or at least save it until after the game.
