Nothing funnier than a bunch of spun hippies back from Bonnaroo looking down their noses at people for doing druqks. whatever makes you guys feel better.
John: We don't even understand our own music Spider: It doesn't, does it matter whether we understand it? At least it'll give us . . . strength John: I know but maybe we could get into it more if we understood it
That is kind of an asshole statement, and not really reflective of the tone on here dude. Nobody is looking down their noses at him. We are just stating that the Bonnaroo community as a whole is not responsible for his death.

Haha......yea we're all spun hippies. And we're all doing this to make ourselves feel better. You hit the nail on the head
why say smite away when you don't do the "karma" thing? not that I would smite you anyway.........i don't see the point in those things.
and yea we've known for a while about the people on that board that knew him.
yeah-just an observation-this one is more focused on the druck aspect-
I opted out of the dumbazz point thing-just silly-It was more of a sentiment that I think people do smite for no good reason....just because they disagree or get defensive. Theres a thread on here somewhere about it....just not something I care for
Everyone has their own road to travel based on their choices and experiences..heroin..coke...any addiction is a hindrance in someones life that keeps them from their potential, although coming through it can make you stronger...Some just dont make it through healthwise. It was a tragedy. Hopefully he has some peace now.
**oh yeah-...recreational use is quite another thing than an ADDICTION.......getting spun is different than spend all your waking hours like that.
If it is the latter rather than the former I would not even mess with talking to them, I would just find a guy on a horse and quietly let them know.
I thought the horse was the problem.
and I'm confused why yr worried about stepping on needles when you've never seen one at Roo, or why you assume someone who's smacked out at Roo would be a thief. In fact, Why would someone using heroin have to be shooting it? There are other routes of administration.
I was just about to comment on something similar to your last point. Heroin is probably more common than you think, there just isn't a bunch of used needles around to make it obvious. I know a few former junkies and they all snorted it. I would say it is more common than shooting it up. Usually the needle guys are so far into their herion addiction that they don't even leave their crack den for something like Bonnaroo

A good point you both make about the H. It's become somewhat of a problem around here (long island NY) with younger kids snorting. I don't know which is more common......but I do know that the snorting usually comes first. Once that stops working so well then needles are introduced. This isn't the same for all cases......but generally snorting the powder comes first and around here that has been increasing among people.
One newspaper article stated how the kids do it because it's cheaper and quicker.....and there's been multiple deaths because of it. Even a young cousin of mine had to go to rehab because of getting involved with this stuff (after he was caught stealing from his moms jewelry drawer). It's scary stuff
^where on LI are you? I'm in huntington and yeah def a lot of younger kids getting into it my, one of my friends lil brothers was telling us about kids in his HS doing it.

I'm in Islip/Central Islip. Every week or two there's something about heroin in Newsday (a newspaper on Long Island) or I hear from my younger sister about her friends doing it and getting into shady situations. Crashing cars onto people's lawns, stealing from high up druq dealers, giving it to their EVEN YOUNGER siblings.........it's really gotten crazy. When my friends and I were that age (only 4 years ago) we never even thought about H. Now it seems to be the thing to do

there is a huge difference between using psychedelics and chasing the dragon.

long island is crazy. one of my good friends from college is from manhasset, and he did more druqz before college than ive done ever (no h, for the record). and hes like the "good one" of his friends. lots of crazy stories of kids from his town.

Same thing here in Levittown, it's way out of hand.

Think it really depends on your location. Our schools haven't been like that in years, but that's what being less than 10 minutes from Camden and Philly will do to ya.

/sarcasm
My comments had nothing to do with you. Don't flatter yourself. They were directed more at the folks talking about narcing out people for using certain illegal druqks while enjoying other illegal druqks, which is hypocrytical at best and despicable at worst.

My friends I camped with saw a man fall out of a porta-john Sunday morning around 2nd Ave. They said he was grey-ish blue and looked pretty dead, may've been passed out but kinda doubt it. They said he didn't move at all when he fell on the ground. They said the medics took their time touching him at all, everyone was all freaked out. Said it was a hippie dude in his mid 20's. Anyone else hear of this?
P.S. Notice on the news link that one of the deaths was METHADONE related. Damn pill poppers given us a bad name.
I was walking by as this happened. I didn't see exactly how it happened, but I saw as he was falling out...there were people laughing and taking photos....totally weirded me out. He didn't look good at all, but he had color still and that gave me hope. Not long after a Roo guy was there and I asked if he had seen and he said "they're already on their way". It was scary though - I have wondered since if he snapped out of it, cause yeah - he did not look good.

So can you not read or do you just prefer not too? All that I said was that if people were creating a dangerous scene around your campsite, you should consider turning them in. Let's be fair your local corn farmer does not create the kind of scene I was talking about. Not everyone slinging H does either, but they are 1000 times more likely to do so. Sorry if I am interfering with your desire to to go coma out in a tent at Bonnaroo because I might run all the skeeveball H dealers off.
