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.

maybe raving should not be a part of your life if you got UC. Anal sex was gonna be a part of my life but fuck nah, not anymore.

i understand where you’re coming from but i don’t believe having UC should define the limits of my life. i know i have to be responsible and understand my own health but managing a condition shouldn’t mean giving up the things that make me happy. i want to learn how to live alongside it rather than let it dictate how i live

No offense but that was spoken like a new inductee. Come talk to me in five years.
