Update April 265, 2024: The rabbit hole goes deep! ‘Saltburn’ for Real: Meet the Young, Rich ‘Narco-Toffs’ Who Party Hard “
The dealer said cocaine “is very passé now,” with parties more likely to be fueled by magic mushroom-infused alcohol “drops” that cost as little as £60 ($75) for about 40 drops. “Someone puts two drops on your hand and you lick it off. No need to go buggering about in the toilets, and you don’t get the jitters that you do from cocaine.”
Another regular party-goer said that the narco-toff scene has now divided into two, with one side still knocking back cocaine and molly at rave-style private parties and the other more boho camp taking a hippy wellness approach to their drug taking. “They are into microdosing, ayahuasca, magic mushrooms and (the psychedelic) DMT,” the source said. “It’s much more about spiritual highs. I heard of one crew recently that flew a shaman in from Peru for an ayahuasca weekend at a stately home. That’s been going on in Ibiza for ages, but it’s a new thing here.”
The patron saint of this Gaia gang, of course, is Prince Harry, who revealed in his memoir, Spare that he had used ayahuasca, at first recreationally but subsequently as a therapeutic tool.”

Prince William admits being a fan of psychedelic trance; his buddy is arrested for drugs. Dance music sure has gone upscale since the early ’80s days of New York’s Paradise Garage and Chicago’s legendary Warehouse club.

Fast, melodic trance has become the sound of our go-go millennium. It is a designer genre for a generation brought up on digital hardware and high-tech fashion. Trance is so popular that none other than heir-to-the-British-throne Prince William, 17, is reportedly its newest fan. According to the U.K.’s Ministry magazine, Prince William digs the harder, speedier, psychedelic sound of “Goa trance,” which was made popular in the mid-’90s by British vacationers to the Goa region of India.
Ministry reports that Prince William’s bedroom is plastered with posters from the Flying Rhino record label, a Goa specialist. He better watch out, however, because trance has its dark side. In fact, young Prince William’s best friend was reportedly arrested New Year’s day on drug-related charges after leaving an all-night rave in the British countryside.
According to a newspaper report, 16-year-old Nicholas Knatchbull, a future British Lord, was stopped for speeding. A subsequent search of Knatchbull and his three friends revealed a stash. A royal spokesman told England’s Sun newspaper, “It is very worrying. It seems the Princes are being exposed to drugs on almost every front. Even some of their most trusted friends are now dabbling in drugs.”
Ed. note – although this article was archived in 2000, it is nowhere to be found in 2020. It is probably satire. This much we know for sure: Dennis Romero was indeed a managing editor at the LA Times. But it isn’t anywhere in their archives. They did get sold. Maybe they were threatened with a lawsuit?
