Unpopular Opinion
Throw away account because people get so heated about this.
Something that has always bothered me since the surge in popularity of ketamine use, are people arguing that alcohol is worse and not acknowledging the impact that heavy ketamine use has on festivals and the culture surrounding them.
I guess I should of prefaced this with I've been going to festivals consistently since the 90s and have seen them evolve over decades. Also, I only occasionally drink a few times a year and do love ketamine in certain settings. So this isn't a which substance is worse argument, I think any substance can become a problem depending on the usage.
Maybe I'm the old man yelling at clouds here, but I personally get a little disheartened looking around the dance floor and seeing people that can barely stand, needing a friend or tree to help them balance, seeing friends and acquaintances couch locked at camp for the entirety of the festival or on the ground sprawled out just dissociating at the stages (please no argument of "well how do you know they're on K" I know because I usually approach these people to see if they need help and I'm told by them or friends with them that they just had too big a rip of K).
So in conclusion I guess, is don't go pointing fingers and shaming people for usage of one thing and instead let's spread awareness and harm reduction in usage of all substances, so we can all continue to have a good time and keep everyone safe and the vibes up.
