Doctors have weighed into the debate over party pills, with the Medical Association saying people should not take them even though they are legal.

Association chairman Ross Boswell says there are growing doubts about the safety of the BZP-based pills.

He says people who insist on taking them should not take large doses, or mix them with alcohol, other drugs, or prescription medicine.

The government is considering whether the pills should be banned or at least have their distribution restricted.
