*'''[[Effect::Sedation]]''' - In terms of energy level alterations, this drug is extremely sedating and often results in an overwhelmingly lethargic state. At higher levels, this causes users to suddenly feel as if they are extremely sleep deprived and have not slept for days, forcing them to sit down and generally feel as if they are constantly on the verge of passing out instead of engaging in physical activities. This sense of sleep deprivation increases proportional to dosage and eventually becomes powerful enough to force a person into complete unconsciousness.

*'''[[Effect::Physical euphoria]]''' - This compound is unusually euphoric in comparison to other compounds within the same class.

{{effects/visual|

The visual effects of methaqualone are unusually strong for other [[depressants]] of its class. They can be broken down into several components which progressively intensify proportional to dosage.

*'''[[Effect::Visual acuity suppression]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Double vision]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Visual disconnection]]''' - A sense of subtle disconnection from visual input is often experienced with high dosage methaqualone.

*'''[[Effect::Internal hallucinations]]''' - The internal hallucinations of methaqualone can be described as more solid than [[psychedelic]]s and do not seem to be composed of visual geometry. The most common way in which they manifest themselves are through hypnagogic scenarios. They are most common during high dosages and can be comprehensively described through their [[Internal_hallucinations#Variations|variations]] as lucid in believability, fixed in style, autonomous in controllability, and equal in new experiences and memory replays in content.

Although the exact lethal dosage of methaqualone has not been formally established, like many [[depressants]], it is [[Toxicity::safe at appropriate dosages]]. Complications may arise when administered in excess or in combination with other depressants.

It is strongly recommended that one use [[responsible drug use|harm reduction practices]] when using this ~~drug~~.

~~{{DangerousInteractions/Dissociatives}}~~

*'''[[Stimulants]]''' - It is dangerous to combine depressants with [[stimulant]]s due to the risk of excessive intoxication. Stimulants decrease the [[sedation|sedative]] effect of methaqualone, which is the main factor most people consider when determining their level of intoxication. Once the stimulant wears off, the effects of depressants will be significantly increased, leading to intensified [[disinhibition]] as well as [[Methaqualone#Subjective effects|other effects]]. If combined, one should strictly limit themselves to only dosing a certain amount of depressants per hour. This combination can also potentially result in severe dehydration if hydration is not monitored.

==Legal ~~issues~~==

==Legal status==

*'''Australia''' - Methaqualone is Schedule 9 in Australia, meaning it is illegal without a license and deemed to have no medical value.

*'''Canada''' - Methaqualone is Schedule III in Canada, meaning it requires a prescription or license to legally possess.
