Party Vibe

I’ve been going to underground parties for 10 years as a very light drug user/abstainer, and my (relatively) unlouded observation is that:
1) ecstasy and other stimulants make the users and the dancers way more dynamic and sociable
2) Ketamine makes users and the parties way more sedate, introverted, and the mixing clumsier – as any DJ will tell you. These may seem like little things but when you add them up you get a much less energetic vibe.

I’ve listened to every one of my many k-head friends argue til their blue in the face that they dance better and etc. when they’re on k but the fact remains that it’s all in their heads. The party looks and sounds more interesting to them, but to the outside world they’re lethargic. That was what casued the whole rupture between the “k scene” and the rest of the free party scene. K head partiers just don’t mix with partiers on any other drugs.

For example, check these vids of a K party an a mid 90’s free party:

Ket is Ket, I have seen some right states on this stuff, friends have scared …………………………………………..
There is FAR too much horsing around these days though!!:you_crazy

agreed (and despite me occasionally doing it at parties in recent years).

its more used on the dance scene as a way of staving off paranoia and misgivings because either people done way too much class A’s and are suffering the nasty mood swings – or the harsh reality is that the social network you are partying with is crumbling.

good advice, but what often happens is that peoples friends end up looking after them instead of partying and they weren’t expecting to do that

in extreme circumstances the NHS pick up the pieces, not so much from K itself but from physical injuries sustained due to people hurting themselves whilst on it.

I think this years party season has cost East of England Ambulance NHS Trust alone a fair few quid in patching up busted up K-heads (people falling off stuff and breaking legs etc).

Its maybe a couple of grand already, and the party season has barely started.

Are you guys arguing that K is physically causing the scene to stop happening, because people are literally too fucked to put parties on?

Or are you saying that the k – ethos (of lying around happily dribbling rather that dancing ur bloody nuts off all night) has changed the atmosphere at parties?

If its the atmosphere were talking about I’m gonna show my age with pride. Coke killed/changed the party vibe. The party scene was originally fueled by mdma (or proper f**kin pills), speed and acid.

You take a very driven off-the-track group of people and fill em with empathy drugs, momentum and hallucinogens and then take a group of beer-swilling people on coke-ego-mania-psychosis and the difference in results is glaringly obvious. Its the opposite side of the spectrum

coke killed it, in my neck of the woods anyway :bounce_fl
