I'm not too familiar with G. What harm does it do to ur body? I've seen people G-out, but I'm not sure what happens.
p.s. Excellent Thread |

Nathalie that was a post very well put together and yes should be read by all TA's.
I think Jon said it best with the fine line between party/abuse. |

No most people do not know, and thats the whole reason, problems start. Drugs are an escape, plain and simple. If they are doing their job, how often do you question it? Should I? Why not?
If they take you to a comfortable place, where you feel good, invincible, how can you see it as a bad thing? They really do blind fold you. As Nat was saying, she hopes that it does not come to the point where we are watching our friends go down, for us to change. Unfortunatly, that maybe neccessary. If people do not see the negatives from within their own lives, then the instigation must come from an external source.
Hopefully this thread will become that external source. |

It seems that we as human beings believe that we are untouchable, right up until that moments that something actually happens. As stupid as it seems, it is true, and it is only a matter of time till something does.
Ive been to the Guv a dozen times as "designated driver" and even without a drop of alchhol in me, I still had just as much fun as the people next to me.
Ive seen drugs do some bad stuff to people, and its enough to keep me pretty distant from it. |

Maybe everyone who reads this should PM those who they think have a problem in confidentiality, if you receive more than one.... you likely have a big problem on your hands.

Whew, no PMs yet.... I must be okay! |

You pretty much got it right there. Most people don't really see it as a problem. The drugs become a predominant factor, and it IS taking the easier way out. I myself have gotten to that point that I realized most people I was with had nothing to talk about unless they were high, and truth be told I was hitting that line myself. At that point, its time to step back a bit. Don't fear being boring. There's nothing wrong with just staying in every once in a while, enjoying simpler things. Try to go out after plenty of rest. Don't go out just because there is nothing better to do. |

I agree with the post completely.
Though I've never seen anyone actually use G/K/C myself, I do see plenty of E all the time. It's getting out of hand with all the sweat and crap.
Now, on a different note: Does anyone think that set times are a contributing factor to the problem? I'll explain further.
Last week at Decadence AvB came on after 4. What's more, he came on at 5:30(!!!) at BeB. I almost feel like the perceived notion is that you have to be on Red Bull and E just to last it through until 8 or 9, when the set is done. For my friends and myself who don't load up RB/E, it's getting tough to even stay up until 5, let alone dance after that (keeping in mind our day jobs and commitments). Perhaps if the headliner sets where done at 2 or even 3, the drug use would decrease?
Quite honestly, I know of very few people that stay the whole night and aren't on drugs. IF I were back in Ibiza on vacation, I would simply get up later in the day, at 2 or 3, and go party at night, and stay up until 7-8 AM no problem. Unfotunately this isn't possible while not on vacation...
Just some food for thought... |

Its all good in theory.
But at the next big event will we be practicing what we preach? |

| Best post I've ever seen here on TranceAddict and probably ever will. I hope everybody on the boards reads this and takes it seriously. This is no joke people. The party is about the music and the people, not the drugs. |

I agree, however, tt's not unheard of to sleep for 3-5 hours before a big event. |

It can be done. Some of the best party I have ever been to have been me completely sober. |
