No then as I get random drugs tested at work🤣

[Franky]

For reference I normally start about a week or 2 out and continue taking them for a week after.

Fair enough lol

Not during the festival - wait until the last day/when you get back. Too much of it on top of all the other stuff you’ll be taking can properly fuck you up - learnt that the hard way; look up ‘seratonin syndrome’. Maybe other people have different experiences than me, but I find there are much better/safer ways to reduce ‘fatigue’ whilst at the festival, but this is a good thing for when the partying has stopped and you need to properly un-fuck yourself up from the five days of hell you’ve presumably put your body through.

Hmmm I used it in the lead up to 2017 and all the way through 🤷‍♂️ it’s certainly helped with everything “working” the same way from Wed to Sun and not having to increase …….. hmm dosage lol 

 

interested to know other peoples experiences. Knowledge is power blah blah blah etc etc etc

I’ve done it straight through a couple of festivals a while back and whilst it did seem to work to some extent, I’m sure I could’ve had semi-equal results by just using the tried and tested painkillers + electrolytes + water combo before bed and upon waking up that is now my staple and save potentially fuckiing up my seratonin, which I’m doing a good enough job fucking up as it is.

But yeah, as I say, others may feel different and see a huge difference and benefit to taking it mid-festival, but for me the difference was negligible and I felt fucking crap and weird for a good while post-festival. Made returning to work a week later unbearable. 

[Gnomicide]

I'm now fully informed and it's a no from grandad.

Be careful though... Friends of friends were sharing a white wine m@ma shit mix during macca and all became ill..... Not from the substance but they all caught COVID from sharing the bottle 🤣

Mmmm don’t get me wrong I’m not advocating only doing this lol and for god sakes research it first. But I did find that 1 worked the same on Sunday as it did Wednesday.
 

Whereas in previous years by Sunday it’s was like eating smarties. So I tried it for that reason rather than avoiding a come down.

I only ever partake at Glasto and it’s been since 2017 lol so I’m looking forward to some fun. I still felt like utter shit for a week after but then have done every time I’ve been lol 

Water and painkillers are a must for me before bed regardless lol

Can I also add I drink very little alcohol because it fucking ruins me. At most I would have a Bloody Mary and maybe a Gin and Tonic each day. 
 

Horses for courses and all that. 

[Mich1268]

Bloody helll, no idea what you are all going on about. Can someone inbox me? 

[rwoo]

I used to take it around big nights out and at heavy festivals but I wouldn’t now. 

[Fishinginthelongdrops]

Thought about it but never got round to buying any. Also Magnesium but I heard that can loosen the bowels which could be problematic at the festival.

Maybe don't take anything then you don't have to think about taking any counter measures 🤷🏼‍♂️

[MrHew]

That stuff gave me migraines

Yeah man it’s a very good stance to have. 
 

Question? Do you drink alcohol? Does it give you hangovers? Not judging just tying to bring some perspective and as I mentioned earlier, horses for courses. 
 

Different substances effect different people people in different ways. 
 

it’s pretty much that simple. The more info out there though the greater chance of people staying safe. 
 

Peace out and one love to all.
