A friend of mine is planning to roll for 3 nights in a row in a few weeks time. I'm not sure exactly what doses he's planning out, but I know that he doesn't exactly hold back (he's a 'more is better' kinda guy). I've tried to echo what I've read on here about replenishing serotonin and the dangers of not allowing sufficient recovery, but he's going to carry on anyway.

I've picked out the night I want to roll on, and I'm keeping it to that.

Is there anything I can do/be aware of in terms of keeping an eye on him?

I know it sounds a bit vague, but I've tried to suggest a more moderate approach, and it's not sticking.

Thanks in advance for any help.
 
Hes an idiot. If your friends dont heed your warnings and just think ur full of it, leave em to it.
 
yeah to be honest i know some people with that mentality, and you can't really talk them out of it. just keep an eye on him make sure he's drinking enough water because if he isn't drinking enough water on a 3 day bender at a festival in the sun (i'm guessing that's what it is) then it's very dangerous.

what country you from as well?

for some reason, i wanna party with chesh. Come to california bro! :P (no homo)
 
that's because i'm a mad cunt (a safe one though) haha

i was considering moving to san fran because it's a really nice city. but i dunno if i'd enjoy the edm scene in the US as much, seems a lot more flashy and about image from what i hear/see but ofc that won't be true for all of them and i'm sure there would be some underground dnb events if i looked hard enough. also when i become qualified as a paramedic i don't know whether i'll be able to carry that qualification over to the US.

Yea that's pretty much all I can think of. Yup, nice 4 day festival on the beach. Got an insanely good line-up for the Saturday night so that's my time to get on it! Cannot wait!

And I'm English also :)

we into diff music styles though, but i just have this feeling we would get along. :P San fran is a cool city, but fuck cities. I live in the mountains. 8000 ft of california beauty. Just snowboarded today. haha

sorry for getting off topic, but really if your friend is such a hard head, fuck em and leave em. That seems to be the only way to get people to understand. They need to experience something horrible. Let em experience some horrible depression or something. I dont wish it on people necessarily but sometimes theres just those idiots you know?

shit man which festival is that?

yeah if you're in the UK i'd say get a testing kit too and just make sure the stuff he's taking is md. is he gonna be on the mandy all 3 days? or pills? best if he gets some nice rocks of mandy and uses a testing kit to make sure they're legit. not usually much fake md round atm but better safe than sorry.

also his 3rd day will probably be pretty shit and he might not bother doing a 3 day bender again. i've got a mate who did a 4 day bender he said the first day was awesome, 2nd was good, 3rd and 4th were nothing special and he felt like shit for weeks afterwards.
 
*Snip*

I don't have a kit atm, but it's from the same batch that we tested previously, and its all rocks.

I reckon he'll be the same as your mate, maybe he'll learn a thing or two. Or, thinking about it, he'll just pick up something different on the 3rd night without knowing what the hell it is. Idiot.

yeah he might, not much you can do about it though.

i don't understand that mindset though i'd rather do 3 different drugs than do the same drug each day with it getting less fun each time.

I agree with that one tbh. He's tried a lot of stuff over the past 3/4 years, but he's never been to a proper festival before, so I think he could go a bit over the top.

Maybe you want to come and lend those trainee paramedic skills haha!
 
how often does he get on the mandy anyway?

pfffft im not even a trainee paramedic yet haha. gonna have to work at a hospital or something for next year and hopefully get accepted onto the uni course next aprilish then go off to australia and live with my mate until the course starts.
 
Ha shame. Fair enough, good luck with all of that, I've got a uni exam tomorrow.......probably should spend more time on that rather than posting on here.....!

Happy rolls, have a good summer.
 
yeah i should be revising for my A2 exams as well

you too man i'll have a sick summer, global gathering and creamfields

Totally going to end up bumping into each other at both. If you really care enough to want to stop him from (trying) to roll three days in a row just head over to the psy board and find something nice with little mindfuck to do. Why not share the first time experience with him? I'm sure He'll learn his lesson, by the 3rd day at best all he'll get is a tweaked out feel and at that stage you may aswell just be railing lines of speed.

I definitely went through a phase where I was taking too much and too frequently (have done 3 days in a row several times, heavy re-dosing) before I listened to what my body was telling me. You can't always control what someone else is going to do - even if you voiced your displeasure, he might do it behind your back anyway. Have fun the first night! Maybe after that he will have a different mentality. Most definitely keep an eye on them! In my honest opinion, so long as he: gets a relatively decent sleep and eats and drinks daily, the worst thing that will probably happen is a bad hang-over festivals end. He'll learn the hard way how hard rolling is on your body. "He's a idiot" is subjective and unnecessary. Some people like to go hard and only will listen to themselves when it comes to being more responsible. In my case, it's come with age and a greater appreciation of a clear head.
