<onlyinclude>An '''uncomfortable physical effect''' can be defined as any substance-induced alteration of ~~one~~'s physical state which is unpleasant, undesirable~~, uncomfortable~~, painful, or otherwise a source of distress. In most cases, they indicate a temporary ~~and normal~~ part of ~~the manner in which the~~ substance ~~interacts~~ with the body. However, in certain contexts, they can also indicate the need for attention or even medical treatment if they become dangerously severe.

<onlyinclude>An '''uncomfortable physical effect''' can be defined as any substance-induced alteration of a person's physical state which is unpleasant, undesirable, painful, or otherwise a source of distress. In most cases they indicate a temporary part of a substance's interaction with the body. However, in certain contexts, they can also indicate the need for attention or even medical treatment if they become dangerously severe.

Those who experiment with or use psychoactive substances, especially [[hallucinogens]], should also be aware that some of the other effects that the substance may produce (such as [[anxiety]], [[paranoia]], [[disconnective effects|disconnectivity]], and [[delusions]]) may lead to a distorted perception of what is actually happening to their body. While this risk can be partially mitigated by taking [[responsible drug use|harm reduction measures]] such as having a knowledgeable and trustworthy [[trip sitter]] to watch over and provide sober, third-party input, it should be remembered the potentially serious health consequences that may result from these effects can never be mitigated completely. It is therefore extremely important that the user understands the risks, does their research, and is aware of any pre-existing medical conditions which could potentially be exacerbated by these effects.
