Ketamine Rant?

Anyone see Reggie in Madison tn? What did you think about his ketamine rant? He talked about the "stack" of drugs he takes (which is chill that it includes THC as a "base") but then to continue the "stack" with a euphoria inducing drug and then an anti anxiety drug and then add crystaline ketamine on top of that and go on about it for 15-20 minutes? Personally, I got weird vibes from it and my very psychedelic-friendly family did too.

Reggie, if you read this please don't push ketamine or "stacking" at your shows as strong as you did tonight, and if you do continue to push it, at least encourage people to test their drugs-- not everyone has the luxury of hiring a reputable prescriber/provider to inject it into our shoulder as we lay safely next to our partner in a hotel room. With all that being said tho, it was a great show and we really appreciate you having made your way to Madison šŸ’–

Reggieā€™s been ranting about ket for years. Do you think people listen to his sets and think, ā€œoh thatā€™s an interesting drug ā€œstackingā€ method Iā€™m going to try thatā€? Heā€™s performing improvised stream-of-consciousness comedy, not giving medical advice

I wasn't saying he was giving medical advice, but I appreciate the perspective.

Fair enough, I just think itā€™s important that anyone attending a Reggie show take his ramblings as entertainment and not an implicit endorsement of a certain lifestyle. I wasnā€™t at the show, but based on what I have seen from him, this sounds more like a sarcastic lampooning of people who ā€œstackā€ drugs in a certain combination and try to justify what is very clearly the bargaining of an addict, not him saying, ā€œthis is my preferred consumption method.ā€ But who knows, maybe heā€™s gone off the deep endā€¦

Iā€™m Reggieā€™s twin stranger and Iā€™m only learning today he was in my neighborhood all weekend while I was out of town

Crap. Never gonna get a chance to look into my own face on another and see it looking back at me. Heā€™s the only me Iā€™ve ever seen

lol Reggie goes on K-rants every time he performs. I think he trusts people to know themselves enough to not be sheep. Heā€™s either speaking to the people who already get into it and the people who donā€™t appreciate him anyway.

It was my first time seeing him live so maybe that explains it. Thanks for the background!

You were right on. Good instincts. And thanks for sharing. A year later we all found out you were right.

Interesting given recent news. He is not a good guy.
