Wow. Totally unrelated.

I don't think it logical to bring Shuglin into this as an example. While I agree that he has done tons of drugs and maintained a healthy approach to life... his life work as a psychopharmacologist should never be used as a measuring stick. Shuglin has nothing in common at all with Ritchie Hawtin and 99% of the partiers and club-goers in their approach, reasoning, and ethics of drug use. Shuglin is a complete anomally and not even close to the norm to be used in a rational discussioni of techno scene drug use.

I read his life story, as well as PIHKAL, and part of TIHKAL, as I once aspired to explore chemistry, psychology, and bio-pharma phenomena.

In the end I also learned the hard way that for me, the average techno head, Shuglin should never serve as a justification for drug use. I paid dearly for partying too hard, and no reference to science can erase that.

The root issue here is a video and an account of Hawtin's totally insane behavior. It is insane because while the lifestyle is common and hardens us to this fact: the truth is that it is never a laughing matter when someone collapses because of drug use. Many do that everyday on the streets and in the clubs of this world and don't get up again.

No guarantees that was an afterparty though either. It just says AM party which based on my well-tenured raving career, could mean anything. :)

Any of you drug detectives think that maybe just maybe he is messing around. For all any of you who WEREN'T there know he could have been at the end of his set and just been playing around. Adults do play you know. Sometimes even without drugs.

We live in a great society where any odd or unexpected behavior is immediately associated with drugs. It tells me that most are not able to just let go without them.

Yeah never done K before. No real interest there. I'm already mellow enough that a downer would put me in my sleeping bag. Not really what I would want when I am actually trying to stay up and dance.
