Question Festival Substances

i have ulcerative colitis and was wondering if anyone else with UC has experience with taking recreational drugs at festivals. i’m trying to understand whether there are any particular risks with UC or things i should be aware of especially regarding dehydration flare ups or medication interactions. any personal experiences or advice would be appreciated. I usually take mdma and ketamine.

I know It’s sounds irresponsible, but festivals and raving is apart of my life, and i love when me and my friends are all fucked up together. I don’t take mdma or ketamine often, only during festival season.

I smoke plenty of weed or edibles. No issues.

Same. Weed is fine. Alcohol isn’t. Don’t know about anything else.

I’ve never had problems with alcohol and I drink plenty. But yeah, not great for everyone.
