  • Bonnadrugs? -what should I expect?

    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

  • bonnaroo drugss...

    i went to bonnaroo last year and the first day i was there we happend to run into one dealer who was selling everything under the sun except for meth and dope. he was sellin coke tho but that was the only dealer i ran into sellin anythin harder than x. but if you go around lookin for somethin long enough you might just find it

    the rest of the festival the dealers we met were just selling cid,shrooms,x...etc. its actually kinda funny the hardest thing to find at roo is bud. 

    this was my only my experience..so deff take advice from other fellow roo'ers..

                                                  see ya in june

  • Wow!!!

    Congrats on the 45 days :). You don't have much to worry about. It really should not be a problem for ya

    The harder stuff is find-able, but not that common.  However I can't even count the number of times I heard people offering "doses, shrooms, molly!"

  • Call your Sponsor!

    I'm not trying to harsh your mellow either, but what are thinking going around any drugs 45 days sober?!!?  Seriously, hit a a meeting or call your sponsor and talk to him or her about this.  Testing your resolve after 45 days (or ever) sounds like a bad idea.  Again, not trying to bring you down, but know people care.  Even if we don't know you!  Spending time around a known drug using event is not a reward for your sobriety...it's an opening for you to use again.  You don't really want to go back to "hell" (your words) do you?

  • Been there, done that

    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 attending.  I'd hate to hear about you getting carted out on a coffin on wheels.

    Get your priorities in order.  This festival should be way down on your list.  Good luck, good health.

    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 in recovery and your confindence in your ability to partake in one and not the other but be realistic with yourself before you leave.  if you get there and start in on one drug and your drinking and what not where is the line thats stops you from rolling the party upto the next level?  what are your limits and can you control them?  dont let the opinion of a few strangers blogging on the net stear you in the wrong directions.  take care and good luck

  • boomers?

    i've always called them bloomers....  usually "hard" drugs aren't sold at places like this..... 

     

    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 prescription... i hate pharmies so i'd say that's the worst thing i've seen being sold-

  • Uhhhhhh...

    you've admitted a 4 year road of hell and back,addiction,theft,loss of family?,rehab....and you're talking about joining in on the party?Do the right thing for yourself and stay away from all substance temptations--although I've never seen meth,heroin for sale....all else is available and from the words of your post,my loving and caring suggestion for you would be surround yourself with people that will keep you clean.

    I love Bonnaroo--go every year,but it is not the place for someone who is fighting such demons.Sorry if this reads preachy.....take care of yourself.

  • stay strong

    If you are gonna go out to the farm, make sure you have the will-power to say no. You arent gonna find too much hard shit. Mostly acid and shrooms goin around, but all it takes is one time to go back to your old ways. Had a friend pass not too long ago from Heroin and I would hate to see it happen to you at Roo. Please be careful and stay strong man. This is the fight of your life and I wish you the absolute best of luck.

  • I dunno about it

    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.

  • ill be the cool parent:)

    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 but current or even former users would not be a good idea at all). Make sure the friends you're with are aware of the situation and are on alert. Also, if you're going to be doing anything else, make sure they watch you there as well and watch yourself hardcore style. It'd be pretty easy to slip and rationalize a "just once" situation if you're completly smashed or torched out of your skull. If you think it's gonna be a problem, there's always the stay home method too, no shame in it whatsoever. It's all your choice bro, just be careful. If nothing else, come camp with me and my brah, we'll keep you away from the shit.      PEACE&LOVE

    Stay sober. Don't go. Also, really do not use ANY drugs. It opens the door to relapse. TALK TO SOMEONE if you don't believe. Don't become a waste of life again, you are doing something great. I've had to deal with family members are recovering addicts. Its the greatest feeling in the world to know they are clean, but its also terrifying because any day they could relapse.Don't go. Don't put yourself in that situation.Take care of yourself.

  • Why??

    Why does everyone insist on talking about the drugs that don't exist at roo on these forums?  There are NO drugs down on the farm.  That would be against the law.
