The State Revenue guys go around looking for drug tax stamps....if you have them, they don't bother you. You can purchase your drug tax stamps out of Nashville anonymously...perfectly legal. The Bonnaroo folks want to "catch" unapproved sellers and will do so by watching your "traffic" in and out of the festival grounds. If you aren't "one of theirs"...bet you #$* that you will be hauled off. Also the RFID's have strict requirements behind where you can leave and re-enter (only certain exit and entry points)....it's not just about tracking you, it's about limiting you. You can't go off site easily and buy from a non-Bonnaroo vendor of any type. Read the new rules of "Bonnaroo" and they give an overview...they just don't explain the "why of it". Those little neighborhood vendors sitting in someones front yard will be shut out of selling anything because there will be no "foot entry" or "foot exit" near them...it's all closed off and fenced out. BOO TO BONNAROO for not playing nice to local entrepreneurs who are the ones that put up with smelling the portopotties and the traffic, filth, and noise that comes with 80K patrons.

"Tennessee, for example, raised $3.5 million from enforcement of their drug tax between 2004 and 2008."
If the bands have been cut, you will not be allowed into the festival per the new "rules" posted on the Roo site.

FYI - the strongest drug I may take is an Aleve or Tylenol so put that in your wacko pipe and smoke it.

This is what I haven't figured out.
You think they're going to let you slide because you bought a tax stamp?
What retard thought up this tax stamp idea? There's a good question.

The answer is enough to have generated over 5million from 2005 (when the law was enacted) and 2007 when this article was written...and I quote:" The state tax on felony amounts of drugs — rates vary by substance — started in January 2005 and has sparked an ongoing legal battle over the fairness and legality of the fee.
(Tennessee) State agents have collected $5.4 million so far, with an untold portion of that coming from their efforts at Bonnaroo, the only event in the state manned by tax agents.
Please note that tax agents do NOT ask you who you are and cannot arrest you for drug possession and the info they do get is inadmissable in any future arrest...they just want your tax monies...and you continue to sell at the event.

It's nice to think like this - certainly not the case. Whether or not that's what the law says, I can promise you that's not how things go down at Bonnaroo.

I heard when this idea first came out a few years ago, it was a way to tack on tax evasion charges on people charged with selling drugs. Since the sale of drugs usually is unreported income anyways. Not like you'd report that on your 1040. You buy the stamp, you get caught selling the same amount of drugs you paid taxes on, no tax evasion. Just sale of a controlled substance.
Weeeee.
