I know this is a sketchy topic and I don’t mean to harsh anyone’s mellow but I thought it would be best for me to know... So I guess my question (to roo vets) is how often have you come across people selling hard drugs at the fest (mainly coke, meth, and heroin). The reason why I ask is because I am a recovering heroin addict. For nearly the past 4 years I have been to hell and back trying to battle this addiction. Like so many others, I have been in and out of rehab, stolen money from my family and friends, and have ended up in the ER more than once. Currently I have been clean for almost 45 days. That may not seem like a long time for some, but all of the x-junkies out there know how unbelievable and incredible this is to me. So I guess the bottom line is, I want to be prepared. Obviously I'm expecting people to have plenty of herb, LSD, boomers, and ecstasy, which I have no problem with (to be quite honest I'll be joining those of you who do). It’s the other shit that scares me. I know what some of you are thinking (just say no, have control over yourself, mind over matter and all that other bull shit) but for those of you who have never been addicted to these drugs don’t realize how hard it is to say no when your caught off guard and have the shit right there in front of you (especially at a fest where everyone’s getting fucked up on one thing or another). Anyways I just want to know how many of you have been offered that shit, and how often. Bonnaroo is basically my reward to myself for getting my life back on track, I just want to know what to expect before I get there.
thanks guys
i went to bonnaroo last year and the first day i was there we happend to run into one dealer who was selling everything
the rest of the festival the dealers we met were just selling cid,shroom
this was my only my experience
see ya in june
I'm not trying to harsh your mellow either, but what are thinking going around any drugs 45 days sober?!!? Seriously,
I know how you feel man. I've been addicted to some hard stuff before, and some of my friends still are and just can't quit even tho they are basically on the street now.
As for the show - I've seen coke there, but normally it is fake, and really hard to find. I've never seen meth at any show ever. I've talked to people (or overheard people) that were either smoking crack or shooting up, but these weren't dealers. They were just users who were stupid enough to pay the ticket so they could use in public. These people normally stay in their tent all weekend and miss all the shows - you won't bump into them.
Dealers will have everything under the sun (esp. rare/experimental hallucinogens that you should be especially careful of), but you won't find Heroin or Meth unless its from a user (of which there are probably 5 out of the 80,000....velvet underground are not playing this year, lol) and if you do happen to stumble upon someone with Coke, you shouldn't buy it cause it will probably be baking soda.
You will find lots of opium tho........
Don't camp! That'll be the end of you. So much shit going around, even the strongest may cave. I agree, hit a meeting and reconsider
Get your priorities
sell your tix and head to the beach or somewhere equally less tempting for you. theres going to 100k peps infront of you and anything you want at hand. i respect your confidence
i've always called them bloomers..
one time i saw a guy who looked waaay wasted (not in a good way) and he was mumbling that he had something for sale... turns out he wasn't even there for the show, he just wanted to sell his xanax prescripti
you've admitted a 4 year road of hell and back,addic
I love Bonnaroo--
If you are gonna go out to the farm, make sure you have the will-power
The first thing I was thinking when reading that exerpt was that you shouldn't even go to Bonnaroo. The only place that will be safe for you there will be inside Centeroo as most the dealers are out in the general camping area's. 45 days might be a lot to a addict as I know from my past, but its not really long in reality. I commend you for making it this far, but Bonnaroo will be to tempting. The only way would be if you had friends with you that would 100% be around you at all times making sure you don't relapse.
It sounds to me like you're gonna go no matter what, at least I know I would. So "If you're going to do it, i'd rather you be safe about it." Only go if you're going with people who will protect you from yourself (and no disrespect
