Tdiz Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) Nice to see a response about this from Glastonbury, as I know many people on here have been moaning for the last few years about the ever increasing mess and noise from Nos. However I don't think the 'Chavs' and the 'Bro's' that tend to use and bring in the canister will take any notice (probably generalising a little but this seems to be the main demographic using them from my research last year) Also it is a pretty lame excuses for a drug....

Matt - Ed Banger Records Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Can we please also ban use of the word chav? Far more troublesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyDunlop Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 For me, it is about the debris left behind, but you can use that argument for a lot of things. There is no need to throw everything on the floor. Its uncalled for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cieran Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 how would you know that unless...YOU WERE A PART OF THE PROBLEM! Nah, I'm not, just a lot of London venues have a group of them selling outside at about 6am and that's usually the price. Also at other UK festivals that's usually the price they're whispering in your ear as they walk by Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoils Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Unfortunately nos goes really well in combination with other drugs Very much this. On their own, I really don't see the point. With some decent pills and LSD on the go, now we're talking. But worth the bother of getting the paraphernalia in, keeping an eye out for security (who may then ask what else you have on you), dealing with people constantly wanting to buy them off you, the weight of carrying it all around? Not on your nelly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5co77ie Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) Aye, some kind of green police is needed to guilt people into stopping...but unfortunately it wouldnt end well for the volunteers I suspect I've seen this work brilliantly years ago at Waveform - so I wouldn't be surprised if it did work - those green stewards know how to shame the f**k out of people near a large crowd.

stuartbert two hats Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 its not the noise so much as the fact that those who do them dont seem to give a fuck about anyone around them.....not just the noise throwing them around and genrally trashing the site with thousands of the little things is hardly in keeping with the love the site leave no trace thing is it? let alone basic respect for people around you.......I couldnt give a fuck what you put into your body because its your body....but thats not what this is about its the anti social attitudes of many who do it.to me its laughable anyway its like these people want to appear dangerous by `doing drugs` but dont have the balls to do an actual proper drug....no they walk around inhaling the stuff they use to blow up baloons.......lol I dont do drugs other then alcohol just never been with that crowd....smoked a bit of pot in my life but thats about it....but if I ever wanted to start id certainly go a bit further then buying sodding kiddys baloon gas hahaIt's not helium you doofus. Kiddie's balloons are filled with helium, not Nitrous Oxide. The balloons are only used as a delivery mechanism. Nitrous Oxide is otherwise known as 'Laughing Gas' like at the dentist. You might have come also across 'Gas and Air', which is Nitrous Oxide mixed with air, to prevent asphyxiation (unlike the canisters, which are pure). Often used as pain relief during labour. Helium gives you a squeaky voice.Plenty of people who take proper drugs will also do Nitrous Oxide. There are sound reasons to dislike the balloons, such as noise, litter and risk of asphyxiation, but because they're in balloons and aren't 'proper drugs' are not amongst them.

MikeEssex85 Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Was I the only one who read "Oxide and Neutrino not welcome in Sacred Space"? nah, thats how I read it also Was gonna ask is all old school garage banned or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurrahBrother Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 One of the reasons I hate the stone circle at night. Also people with a piss poor appreciation of how dangerous those waxed candles on a stick can be when you wave them around like a drunken arse!

Also at other UK festivals that's usually the price they're whispering in your ear as they walk by I was walking down Brick Lane on a Saturday night a couple of months back and there were kids selling balloons to passers by. I was more annoyed that they clearly deemed me too old or uncool to ask me. Should be banned though, they're just really, really annoying.

hulk mike Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 have to say, last time i went in 2013 after a break of a few years, I spent all of 10 minutes at the stone circle, cannisters everywhere and generally a crap atmosphere, also I camped in Oxlyers, where it seemed most of the kids barely left their tents/camps, and there were huge piles of these things outside various camps. you can see why they are so popular with people though, not illegal to buy, so you can't get in trouble, and don't have to deal with dealers etc, you can get them mail ordered to your front door also, unlike all the "proper" drugs that everyone is so nostalgic about. I'm not defending the use of them by any stretch, hopefully this will start to be a turning point away from Nos. I found that when mushrooms and weed were the prevalent substances in the sacred space, it seemed a lot more fun. However always been a beer and cigar man myself but each to their own......

pie_and_a_pint Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) £5 for a quick head rush??? Bloody hell. Don't eat for a few hours. Sit down. Down a shot of vodka (or your spirit of choice). Stand up dead quick. Cheaper, much more fun, no litter, and if you do it lots, you get pissed into the bargain.

whisty Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) Great stuff, pain in the ass shit way to get high. Made me walk away from Funkadelic couple years back and avoid the Stone circle like a plague. Saw security last year or year before chase somebody in West Holts, not nice to see but those things really are a royal pain. Maybe send them all to the dance area Edited April 28, 2015 by whisty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stand up dead quick. Cheaper, much more fun, no litter, and if you do it lots, you get pissed into the bargain. This is daft, it makes selling to far too appealing to people. If someone's agaist drugs then fair enough don't don't do them but paying £5 for a balloon because your scared of normal drugs is madness. A balloon does complement other stuff but not justifying £5. Someone in my crew always brings enough for everyone but tbh I think we're all over it. Doing large amounts just results on a built up tolerance and headaches.

LondonTom Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Are the green police still at Glastonbury but just under a different name or have they gone completely? We have Gaia's Guardians now, which is my mind sound a bit more threatning having a deity on their side and all that. I suggest they are armed with a larger poking device and anyone scene with a canister at the Stone circle is giving a quick up the bottom with said device.
