The Guardia Civil - sensible advice from someone out there

Status
Not open for further replies.
I went to San An early June this year and didnt see any police really, was very relaxed and how I imagined! until I read this thread I would never have guessed all this was going on, I just hope it's better for next year, surely all this searching etc can't be good for tourism! :spank:

Hopefully, it's just pressure from the powers above and over time it goes back to normal!
 
So are there many people out there who regularly go to Ibiza and refrain from taking anything illegal the whole time? I don't mean that to sound narrow minded or ignorant, it's just that ever since I was 18 (I'm 25 now), clubbing and pills have gone hand in hand for me.

The thing is, I turn into a bit of a dribbling oaf when I'm very drunk and tend to start looking for the most suitable place to go to sleep. As you can imagine this presents a problem when I go to any establishment that stays open past about 2/3am. Therefore when I discovered that I could take a wee tablet that could keep me awake the whole time I was well pleased.

Now I'll get to the point here, I am expecting to get word that I'll be starting a new job in September, a week after I come home from Ibiza, which will most likely involve a drug test (probably hair follicle), meaning I can't take anything whilst on holiday this year. I am going with about 10 mates, all of whom will be getting seriously messed up most nights we go out, and quite frankly I'm terrified about the prospect of going to a club at 1/2am and having to stay there until 5/6am whilst on nothing but alcohol.

I think what I want to know is how do the people who go to Ibiza and never take anything survive it all!? Like partying for almost 24 hours on a Sunday at Space? I think drinking a lot of Red Bull and sleeping as long as possible during the daytime are my most viable options at the minute.

Anyway, apologies for wasting 5 minutes of your life that you'll never get back, I really didn't intend to write so much there!
 
Doing it the Natural way....info for the scorpion

Pro plus will keep you awake silly hours! Even better if you combine pro plus with Ma Huang (Chinese Herb) AKA Ephedra (natural form of ephidrine).

Others to include/combine are gotu kola, Ginseng and Guarana. Ma Huang works as a stimulant. Biologically similar to methamphetamines, the substance derived from this plant has an effect similar to Epinephrine, only far stronger.

A variety of stories concerning the use of Ma Huang exist in folklore, including its use by guards of Genghis Khan as a way to remain awake while on duty, and the consumption by early Mormons in Utah as a replacement for caffeine-loaded coffee and tea.

Ma Huang is also known for its mood elevating properties (source http://www.articlealley.com/article_80314_23.html) but I also know from experience!

This stuff works if you want extra energy and to stay awake (you'll need to take a few tablets during the night) but if you take too much, you probably won't sleep very well/get shakey/can get anxious/sweaty). Also, it can supress your appetite a little......

Most of this can be found in health food shops, although Ma Huang will probably need to be bought on-line. Do some research and check the quality.

Hope this helps!

Good luck and enjoy!
 
see to be honest,if it was only drug searches they were doing id be fine with that,but when you see the police(not even the guardia) standing round a corner waiting for 2 lads who were nothing more than a little drunk get punched and hit with the batton for nothing is when i start to worry,i walked past the police just before this and i think if i was with a boy rather than my girlfriend i think i would have got a beaten.I'm the first to say if people deserve it fine give them a beaten but i think its a bit harsh for just being drunk.I seen the boy later on holiday that got hit off of the police and he had a cast on his leg and was on crutches
 
Well a couple of my mates recommended Pro Plus but a lot of them said it's rubbish too. I was looking on the Pro Plus official site and apparently 2 tablets have the equivalent amount of caffeine as of a cup of standard coffee. I don't know about anyone else but I have never drunk a cup of coffee and felt any more alert or awake in my entire life, so I'd tend to agree that Pro Plus might be a non-starter.

I had a bit of a nosey re the Ma Huang, and it seems it's basically just Ephedrine. Ya seem to be able to buy wee bottles of it on the internet for around £10, so I might get one and see what it's like.

Thanks for the advice anyway, you may just save my holiday!

errr that's what we felt like - :oops::oops::oops::oops::oops:

We were either asked for drugs by the young 'uns (as people our age are clearly only in clubs because we are dealers) - but to be fair we get that in the UK too...:oops::oops: also usually ignored by the security because obviously "at our age we would know better..." :lol::lol::lol::lol:

Hey - just wanted to respond to the advice that you were given to take ephedrine. It is legal but there is a danger that it will give a positive result for amphetamines in subsequent drug testing. There are in fact a variety of legal drugs that you could try - have a look at the everyone does it website and check the forums there. However, there is a risk with some legal highs that a false positive result may occur. I think that the safest bet would be to just pace yourself with your drinking so that you don't get too drunk too early on and have the odd redbull along the way.

Another route would be to invest in products which remove chemicals from the hair and urine - check everyone does it or a website called always test clean. Remember that if they test your hair and you've used pills in the last 90 days, it may be detectable in your hair. A shampoo product may be adviseable.
 
does the police search you when you are in the club???have the clubs increased their security measures against drugs and how is that achieved???cause if this is happening it could well ruin the night's atmosphere...

Thanks for the reply, yea I ended up emailing someone from a site selling ephedrine and they informed me that in some tests it can show up as amphetamine. I'm basically very very wary about taking anything that could affect a drug test, so I'm pretty dubious as to taking the legal highs too.

At the minute my intention is to buy some 200mg caffeine pills from the internet (as they are about 4 times as powerful as Pro-plus), possibly buy some guarana from Holland & Barrett, drink vodka and red bull when I go out, and sleep a bit longer during the day than I usually do (maybe try to get about 5 or 6 hours if I can this time!).

Anyway thanks again for the advice!

Anyone know of a warehouse in Ibiza?!!!
 
With the police searches etc, are they just doing pat downs and body searches or are they also using sniffer dogs???

although the inspections take place in lots of clubs, not all of them are as tolerant with drugs. space for example, an after traditionally associated to the consumption: "there are drugs in there, obviously, but the attitude of the company is totally different. many nights, their doormen call to the guardia civil with three, four, five or up to seven people who have been surprised selling. the doormen gives you the salesman and the drugs, and when they are called to the court they go and testify. that doesnt happen with other companies"
