Drugs

[Mr McJohnson]

And I'm not too worried about consuming drugs on site but more getting then into glasto

Drugs are just as illegal at glastonbury as they are anywhere else in the country.

If security catch you with a joint, you'll get more of a hiding off them than you would off the police.

Depends where you are to be honest. Around the main stages i haven't seen alot being offered, but i was walking up to stone circle on my own and a group of men about 30 years older than me asked me if i was selling..

Always take your own drugs, never buy any there.

Just be aware there are bag checks when you walk in so use your head a little bit. My tip is to take some items of food, open up the bag/box/packaging carefully, place your stash inside then glue it back again so it looks like it's never been opened. Highly unlikely anyone would open your food!

I smoked spliffs and snorted coke away from my tent in the main areas but again, use your head and don't make it massively obvious.

Drugs are fun providing you don't act like a dick and do too many!

omggggggg no way thats shocking

[LusciousLucy]

Of course there are drugs everywhere as a high number of people do manage to bring them in but its hardly in your face and openly blatant.

You will no doubt come across a young person or two with those little spoon things they carry around with them for snorting powder if you are in a crowd or a darker dance tent, there are people galore all happily smoking away on joints and you'll almost certainly see folk rummaging around in small clear plastic bags and dipping a pinky in and then licking it in some places no different to being in any club across this country any night of the week.

It wasnt that pleasant in the mid Noughties when you would walk down the railway track and see grown adults blatantly snorting coke off credit cards in broad daylight with kids walking past though. Glad that has seemed to stopped.

But as for anyone pushing anything on anyone, you'll be very lucky to be on the receiving end of an enquiry these days. Its way more people asking if anyone is selling.

Watch out for those vodka jelly people though...VERY dodgy charaters indeed

Some chap was walking around the stone circle offering magic mushrooms brownies. After paying twenty quid for two, consuming them and waiting two hours it became apparent that the only thing magical about them was the delicious taste.

However while we sitting at our tent at 8am a guy walked past shouting breakfast and was giving out free ketamine.

[rachbon]

i was at the stone circle one night and there was a dodgy looking guy walking around going "pills? anyone want to buy some pills? pills anyone?"

i seen two boys (they looked about 16) being led away in handcuffs at the stone circle one day aswell, not sure why though.

i wouldn't buy off a randomer at a festival. i think it's a bit too risky.

i wouldn't sell to a randomer either, same reasons. i've been asked if i'm selling at a few different festivals.

[preacherman_1]

First year I went I was offered absoloutly nothing nor did I get asked if I was selling... however this year I was offered in all the dance tents, the stone circle, the greenfeilds, the Glade & shangri la.

suppose it just depends where you are, who you are with etc. it is definetly more available in the obvious places though.

[worthyraver]

Did you get offered any LSD?

[Mr McJohnson]

That makes me sad, it's the only thing I can't get hold of is acid

They might check there now....

Usual rules apply if you make enough effort to hide it they wont find it, they find plenty from people who could not be bothered to hide it properly. Anything you are taking in for personal consumption will be very small just use your imagination.

Of course dealers need to get loads and loads in, hence they have a more difficult task and of course these are the people the police really want to catch.

[Mr McJohnson]

Yes it is possible that following my post they'll open every single bag and packet of food 160,000 people bring into the festival but I'll take my chances.

Problem is my personal consumption isn't really that small.

Guess i'm going have to stick some of it up my arse

[Phil-itfc]

if you go around looking for drugs, you'll find them. If your not looking for them likely hood is you wont notice people chewing thier own faces off!

I actually didn't notice many people selling, or openly taking a great deal (apart from at their own tents) - but we were walking back INTO Shangri-La at 6am and the state of some of the people coming out of there was pretty funny !

After last years heat, I would strongly advise keeping any powdered substance in a cool, dry place. Melted cocaine (of dubious quality or not) is not a good thing to attempt to do.

My mate found this out the hard way, by splitting a bag and licking the entire contents on the sat night. Fast forward to Sunday morning and he wasn't a pretty sight. He missed the whole day.

Things have changed (for better or worse depending on your outlook) from the heady days of the 90's early 2000 when everything was available at the door of your tent.

I will be sticking with the cider in 2011
