The Geriatric Ravers Still Smashing Drugs: Gravers | High Society

WATCH MORE: From Medellin’s elite clubbers to the cartel queens that run the underworld, all of a sudden everyone in Colombia seems to be snorting pink “cocaine". - https://youtu.be/VOjAlLoXOhQ

As an autistic, I went to an outdoor festival and took E. It was mind blowing - I saw, in slow motion, how people interact, communicate with body language, all the social clues were so obvious. I was able to look into people's eyes for the first time! I will never forget that experience

‘You can always take more.. but you can never take less’ ‘Don’t be daft, start with a half’ Words to live by in this scene. Literally.

I was Daves neighbour, he died in December. he was a lovely bloke had his issues but was a good hearted guy that would go right out of his way for you if he liked you, half of the stuff said in this doc was exaggerated. RIP mate

I raved for 10 years, stopped in my mid 30s. I have zero regrets, they were by far the best years of my life. I saw life from a different angle, where there was no stress or care in the world. Now I'm stuck in a dead end marriage with a narcassistic train wreck of a woman who makes my life a misery...if only I could turn back the clock.

I've been a drug addict my whole life, started sniffing airplane model glue in 1968, I was 8, followed by weed, of coarse alcohol, hash, acid, mescaline, shrooms, speed, cocaine, heroin, in about that order. It's the heroin that takes the most from you, I was a hard worker, a functioning addict, but again the heroin made it near impossible to keep steady control, it just consumes you, every thought is next hit, I'm 62 now, have no idea how I've survived the countless od's, on a suboxone program, it's saved me, although I still freebase cocaine, it's crack with the baking soda cooked out, brings cocaine back to it paste form basically, pure. Drugs have taken all from me, family, I'm completely isolated, I don't feel sorry for myself but I love my family and their not around. I never talk about this, I'm sorry to bore you if you've read this but I actually feels kinda freeing to print out my story. Good luck 🙏

Gary seems like the sound mate who likes to have fun but also wants to make sure that everyone stays having fun and doesnt take it too far

I wish more Vice bits were like this; just deliver the unvarnished subject, as objectively as possible. Well done, this.

Gary’s the kind of guy if you were having an emotional one at a party he would halt his own fun to talk you back to smiling again. Or at the very least listen to you and offering sound advice. Best wishes for him x

“Dave lives in a nice house, in a quaint neighborhood and has been partying and using hard drugs for over 50 years. He must be a functioning and responsible drug addict…” (Camera spans to axe lodged in tv)

"Were the drugs a part of the biker life?" "no, boarding school." way too accurate for most people XD

As someone who partied for a living for many years, it’s fun until it’s not and then it’s fun again. There’s just an emptiness that comes with it in the early hours of the morning when the birds are chirping and the Sunday joggers have come out, that can’t be explained to anybody who hasn’t experienced it.

I was a major DJ in Philly for over 20 years. I used to play at the huge clubs on Delaware Ave. At 40 on my birthday after going through an 8-ball, and watching my friends drop like flies I knew it was time to stop. Over 70% of my friends as well as my younger sister are now dead. A good friend of mine just died last week. Dont kid yourself. A functional drug user is still a drug user. All it takes is the wrong mix of coke and Fentanyl and youre done. Im turning 60 next month. Im happy and sad as I survived but most of my friends didnt.

"There's an axe in the TV" "It was too loud, I wanted it quieter" 😂😂😂

I love this woman - she's so professional and genuinely curious and respectful. Love to see it.

Ive been so many british festivals and met loads of heads like this. Absolute salt of the earth. Im 30 now and have effectively retired apart from the occasional rave every few years, but i have so many amazing life changing memories. some things are better to quit while youre ahead ❤

"You're never too old to rave" words of wisdom!

This girl is emotionally intelligent and was the perfect girl to do this report. Not patronizing or treating them like freaks and honest about her own experiences and concerns. I thought for sure after he said throat cancer he was going to get told off for smoking as it the typical crap that people spout (as if the person hasnt already heard about the link) but I was pleasantly surprised when she didnt do that, and treated him like an adult instead, who is making his own decisions.

"Every leaf on every tree has a meaning." -"Maybe the mdma has kicked in." Classic...

This journalist is good. She goes in open minded and doesn’t judge the people she is interviewing like some of vice other hosts
