This kinda sucks. I'm going to a phish festival in like 2 weeks. I don't plan on selling or buying...just enjoying. Hope I don't get arrested :?

It seems every phish show is a cops wet dream. Plenty of stupid people selling drugs everywhere (stupid because stories like this are now so cliched you'd have to be stupid to sell or buy at a phish concert). Plenty of undercover cops in tie dye shirts and Birkenstocks fishing for dumb kids. If you go to a concert, PRE DOSE!

Every time I read a story like this it Disgusts me to no end. How in the hell can the goverment tell me what I can and cant put into my body, and why do we all let them tell us? Soon I'm not going to be able to eat cake because "it's bad for you". Well shit I'm not making you eat my cake if I want to eat it and get fat leave me the fuck alone!!!!

The govt has already started that crusade: Bag lunches have been banned in Chicago schools, Trans fats banned in California and that is just the start of it.

I'm not implying that you don't .... But we have to get out there and pay attention to LOCAL elections and laws.

Bitching about it is nit enough. They've got us by the balls because we are caught up on living too much to have time for minor bills and legislation.

Politicians do what voters want. The music festival dope smoking voters do not register enough to works for.... But the anti drug bible thumping lemmings ... They get out and vote. So they pander to them.

I'd rather smack them in the face, see if they turn the other cheek. if they don't, they're hypocrites.

The 3-day festival I'm going to claims that they will be thoroughly searching the cars. Any tips on smuggling?

Innapropriate talk, please dont discuss smuggling here. Thanks

Sorry. Didn't notice anything against it in the attitude section since it doesn't regard distribution

No discussion is allowed about selling drugs, buying drugs, procuring drugs, prices of drugs, trading drugs and trafficking of drugs.

Besides, you could also think about this yourself.


Kind regards,

Are these festivals really littered with cops in sheep's clothing? Haven't been to many festivals so I don't really know.

Predosing pretty much eliminates the chance of getting caught unless it's multi-day.

Thought of that myself, but alas it's 3 days.

Meh.

It's best to save the entheogens for solitude anyway, IMHO.

You could bring a live cactus into it, then process it at your campsite. As for your reasoning for bringing a live cactus... well that leaves quite a bit of room for creativity :lol:
