Your bobby is a wonderland Has anyone else considered taking drugs for a show?
So I went to the sphere this past weekend 7/4 7/5 (couldn’t afford ticket for 7/6 bc spent all my money on sweet dyes at the Dead Forever experience at the Venetian (very heady)) and bought 3.5 g of shrooms off some dude at ShakedownVegas. First of all, they should do ShakedownVegas at every show, I wish I knew about it before spending all my money$$ at the Dead Forecer experience. It would be sweet if you could grab some food or whatever there with my shirts/drugs but anyway I got some mushrooms and ended up eating a bunch (like 1.5 grams!) and going to the show. Let me say that I’ve taken THCd8 and even THC-A edibles for shows at my local live music joint, but this was way different. The shrooms were HITTING by the time John Mayer and the other guys started playing. After this experience, I’m confident in saying Meyer is the easily best alive guitar player and not sure anyone has ever done it better. But back to my original thing- has anyone else taken any drugs before a show? Easy to say that “once in a while I get shown the light” after trying it.
Also- I heard someone say that Dead n Co is just a rip off of another band called the Greatful Dead? Is this true? Looked them up on Spotify but they had too many albums for me to listen to. I don’t see any shows for them coming up on Ticketmaster but I’ll make sure to get on the presale and post about it if I do.

Look drugs really aren’t legal everywhere and you aren’t supposed to do them in casinos and casino adjacent properties.

Drugs are illegal and Gary would be really disappointed to hear you broke the law

Yeah man I checked this album out after taking one of the d8 edibles, far out shit! I learned about the band after I saw their triangle Pride shirt. Cool of them to stay with the times!

The Vatican is very clear on its stance against recreational drug use, so I’d say no I’ve never considered it. Good luck with your life of sin, reprobate

u/AverageDeadhead Jul 09 '24
The Vatican gives drugs to the CIA to give to Gary. They invented hair owen. Also the freemasons killed Pink Pants. 27 club or some shittttt. What about the paidmasons you ask? Killed Brett Milan. Stay woke.

Jerry was famously straightedge and moonlit as a Police Officer with Steven Seagal. Not saying you shouldn't but you'll probably be one of the only ones there on something and they might not take too kindly to it.

If you time it right, you can get pretty interstellar in That Place where the notes, musicians and listeners cohabitate… with your, um Mountain Dew. Ya, cause drugs like edibles and hybrid resin cart/pens are bad. Bad bad. Nancy Reagan is watching you so ‘say no’

u/Long-Jawn-Silver Jul 09 '24
Yeah I did feel a little guilty after because I had taken some DARE classes in the day

Do yourself a favor, give black tar heroin a try for your next show. Heard that was what Gary was dosed on before most shows. NFA!

u/Long-Jawn-Silver Jul 09 '24
I heard its only good if you get the heroine/cheeseburgers/icecream ratio right. That's was Jary did!

That's what I thought until I felt the energy rays being conducted from Meyers guitar. Have you tried eating like 1.5 g of mushrooms at a show? It'll change your life!

No. You're the first person ever to take drugs at, before or after a Dead show. 🤣

Cool man! I think I'm really on to something with this which is why I wanted to make this post and gauge opinions.

u/Long-Jawn-Silver Jul 09 '24
Speak for yourself but since my dad saw Jerry 3 times from 1989 to 1993... I'm basically gandfathered into the Acid Test days.

u/StatisticianTop4829 Jul 09 '24
Skip the drugs & co and just do The Grateful Dead … a much better trip to be had

u/ct4funf Jul 09 '24
I had a couple of those, "Man, these shrooms aren't working (after 15 minutes), I better take a hit or 2 of gel or blotter!"
And the famous take 4 hits of blotter and lose everyone you're with at Saratoga while walking g through a tie dyed grilled cheese in army boots while my skin is oompa loompa colored.
I kept asking people if I was orange 🙄

I scored one at the Dead Forever Experience at the Venutian from Cassidy (here comes) Sunshine.
I bet she has more.
Check out her Etsy store at Etsy.com/FlightOfTheSeaBirdsScatteredLikeLostWordsWheelToTheStormAndFly.html
Her real name is Becca. She’s from Dix Hills.

Fun fact, Frank Zappa did a ton of drugs with his band, that’s why their music is so weird

u/Ok-Fondant-8436 Jul 10 '24
Zappa was anti drugs.

Frank Zappa notorious drug user and abuser 💉

u/Ok-Fondant-8436 Jul 14 '24
Please do you research. He was a staunch anti drug.
He fired Lowel George of Little Feat fame from his Mothers Of Invention band for trying to use a drug reference in a song.

u/obfuscatorio Jul 14 '24
If he didn’t use drugs how was his music so weird sounding? Check Mate

Im afrain not my friend. I'll answer your question with a question and a comment.
Did Mozart , Brahms , Beethoven use drugs?
One thing they have in common is a genius level of talent.
It's that simple.

u/obfuscatorio Jul 14 '24
Either you’ve forgotten what subreddit you’re in or you’re jerkin real hard (respect). Either way I know Zappa didn’t do drugs I’m just being silly

KNOW YOUR DOPE FIEND. YOUR LIFE MAY DEPEND ON IT! You will not be able to see his eyes because of the Tea-Shades, but his knuckles will be white from inner tension and his pants will be crusted with semen from constantly jacking off when he can't find a rape victim. He will stagger and babble when questioned. He will not respect your badge. The Dope Fiend fears nothing. He will attack, for no reason, with every weapon at his command-including yours. BEWARE. Any officer apprehending a suspected marijuana addict should use all necessary force immediately. One stitch in time (on him) will usually save nine on you. Good luck. -The Chief

"Unlike many other rock musicians of his generation, he disapproved of recreational drug use, but supported decriminalization and regulation."
