DRUGS

There’s a special kind of arrogance in deciding what someone should have in their bloodstream without their consent. And yet, it’s common. Too common. In Berlin, in London, in every “free-spirited” party scene in the world, you’ll find people who think it’s cute, edgy, or “just part of the night” to slip a tab, powder, or drop into someone’s drink without telling them. Sometimes they call it “a gift.” Sometimes they call it “helping you loosen up.” Sometimes they don’t call i

You’re at the rave. Someone offers you a bump, a tab, a little pink pill. You’re already buzzing from something else. You pause — briefly — and then go for it. Mixing drugs isn’t new. It’s baked into club culture, festival circuits, and late-night kitchen sessions. But just because it’s common doesn’t mean it’s safe. Some combos are risky by nature. Others are deadly. This guide isn’t here to scold — it’s here to inform, decode, and help you stay alive long enough to regret y

In 1898, Bayer launched a new wonder drug. It was fast-acting, non-addictive (allegedly), and more effective than morphine. They called it… heroin. Technically speaking, it was legal — and marketed as medicine. So was cocaine. So were amphetamines. The history of legal highs isn’t a straight line from prohibition to purity. It’s a looping, hallucinogenic feedback system of loopholes, branding, and chemical sleight-of-hand.

The music fades, the Uber's too bright, your skin is still buzzing. Maybe you’re back at someone’s flat. Maybe it’s someone you know. Maybe it’s someone you don’t. The night is blurring into morning and suddenly you’re naked, wrapped around another body that’s hot but far away. You want to come. You’re trying to come. But it’s not happening — again. And you know exactly why.

Look, we’re not saying don’t take drugs. We’re just saying maybe don’t take these ones solo, in your bedroom, with a 9-hour ambient playlist and a vague plan to “go inward.” There’s a myth — usually spread by men who think owning a didgeridoo makes them a healer — that tripping alone is somehow more “authentic” or “spiritual.” That solo ego death is a rite of passage. That if you take a heroic dose alone and scream into a pillow for four hours, you’ll come out healed and enli

You think you're chill. You've got the tabs, the lighting is vibey, your phone's on airplane mode, and you're with people who say stuff like "set and setting" like it’s their day job. But at hour three, when time is melting and your thoughts turn into screaming fonts, who’s keeping you from texting your therapist or walking into traffic barefoot? That’s where the trip sitter comes in.

Somewhere in a rented flat in Switzerland, a guy in his thirties is synthesizing a compound that doesn’t technically exist — yet. It’s one molecular tweak away from being illegal. It’ll get posted on a niche darknet forum within a week, show up at Berlin raves by next month, and maybe (maybe) make its way into a clinical trial by the end of the decade — if it doesn’t kill someone first.

You’re at a warehouse party, three floors deep in fog machine residue and someone else’s cigarette smoke. Someone passes you a bump. K. You take it — it’s fine. You’re floating. Music feels like blood. Touch feels like a memory. There’s a body pressed against yours, and suddenly, you’re fucking — or trying to.

What happens when the rave doesn’t end in a comedown, but in a moment of clarity? For a growing number of people in Berlin’s underground and beyond, psychedelics are shifting from trippy afterthoughts to center-stage substances. Less about escapism, more about connection. And few speak on this transition as openly as Nick Moody.

Cocaine has a glamorous past—throw back to Studio 54, mirrored trays, and champagne flutes. But the reality of long-term use is far less sexy than pop culture would have you believe. If you're wondering how cocaine addiction actually changes a person (beyond the fast-talking and midnight teeth grinding), here’s your no-bullshit guide to what it does to the body, brain, and vibe. Spoiler: it’s not cute.
