We're worried about the scale and regularity of ketamine consumption we're seeing in various party communities. Ketamine bladder cystitis is very real and quite dangerous, and it's possible to start using ket compulsively. Keep these risks in mind as you self-moderate.

Hot take: If you're going to throw an event, you are obligated to look after the safety of the people who attend it. Having something as basic as water shouldn't be celebrated, it should be expected.

So, how exactly did alcohol get exempted from being called a drug..? If we showed you videos of drunk people peeing on buildings or vomiting on themselves and said they'd taken "novel substance XP-84" everyone would freak out and try to ban it.

Venues, did you know? Prohibiting ins and outs is the reason that people chug half a fifth in their cars and then vomit all over your venue. Nightlife shouldn't run on business models that rely on the sale of alcohol.

Yall, almost all of the "Adderall" we see from people who bought it online or from a plug just contains meth. If it's not from a script, it ain't legit. People are out there wondering why they've been up for 24 hours rearranging their closet.

If you're in the "haha it's too late for me" club with earplugs: No. It is not too late for you. If you can hear anything, it is not too late for you. And we absolutely assure you that by the time it IS too late, you'll be really distraught about it.

Reminder about LSD being absorbed through your skin: It's a myth. Your skin is meant to keep stuff out. That's why fentanyl and nicotine patches have to be specifically developed to allow for absorption, and even then it's slow. (CW: Unconsensual dosing stuff within.)

Friendly reminder that doing psychedelics to try and "fix" yourself can be a recipe for getting roundhouse kicked by the whole "you get the trip you need, not the trip you want" thing. There's always a lesson, but sometimes it hurts. Be ready for that possibility.

It's okay to simultaneously admit that a drug has risks AND that a drug can be fun and non-problematic. It doesn't have to be one or the other. Polarized conversations about drugs are THE reason why we ended up with generations of people believing that weed caused "brain damage."

Ketamine and alcohol don't play nicely and might take you to Vomit Town, right next door to Spinsville. If you must combine them, do ketamine FIRST and then SIP on a drink, rather than drinking and then bumping ket.

What a terribly disappointing and irresponsible take. The drug market is a disaster because of our drug laws, which make it impossible to have any certainty about what you're consuming AND frequently illegal to test to try to figure any information out. This is horrible.

If anyone was wondering: NO, taking too much Benadryl is NOT anything like an acid or mushroom trip, in any capacity, and is instead a good way to experience void creatures and time glitching while you're trying to fall asleep. (It's a deliriant experience.)

Y'all, if you're rolling every weekend 5-HTP isn't going to save you. You might minimize the discomfort of having just released a buttload of serotonin with 5-HTP (after), but nothing except spacing your rolls is guaranteed to make molly work for more than a few years.
13

If your normal dose of molly doesn't make you roll, before saying it's a "bad batch" consider that you might just be rolling too often and have a tolerance. Under-dosing MDMA can make you feel weird and anxious and antisocial.

Recall that the American healthcare system + criminalization has forced people to take alternate routes to improve their quality of life. It is hard for folks who need Adderall to get it because we have created a harmful system that denies essential treatment. That is the focus.

"Soft" and "hard" drugs don't exist. Taking a sub-threshold quantity of a "hard drug" won't do anything to your body, while eating a 200 mg edible could land you in the hospital and end up causing dangerous dehydration from vomiting. It's NOT the drug. It's the how, who, and why.

You can eat cocaine. This is a great way to protect your delicate nasal cavities if you've been snorting a lot. To "coke bomb:" weigh approx. 2x your normal dose, wrap it in tissue paper, and eat it. This lasts about 1.5 hours. (Don't hit us with the "or don't do coke.")

POV: Someone offers you a bump at the club. "Did you test it?" you ask. "No," they say. You produce a fentanyl test strip from your pocket. You tell them about the DanceSafe website and say to read the instructions fully. You tell them you love them. You vanish into the night.
