Verdict

Dangerous

Both substances potentiate the ataxia and sedation caused by the other and can lead to unexpected loss of consciousness at high doses. Place the affected individual in the recovery position to prevent vomit aspiration from excess. Additionally, CNS depression can lead to difficulty breathing. Avoid on anything higher than 1st plateau.

Risk / Physical + headspace

This combination carries bodily risk and can go badly psychologically. The headspace part often arrives first and makes the physical part harder to notice.
