K, i don't want to ruin anybodys fun but, for the safety of the Shroomery, i don't think its a good idea for people to discuss all the shit that goes on at the gatherings. Its just asking for trouble. Effed was enforcing it for awhile in the gathering forum, but its all over the place. For one, its going to ruin the whole scene, just like what happened to the Dead tours. People will start comming just for the drugs. Also sooner or later, its bound to draw the attention of the laws.
Everybody knows what goes on, but its bad policy to post about it openly on the boards

I'm guilty of it, and will definitely curtail it..

I couldn't agree more, the forum should be very tough on posts that discuss drugs at gatherings, it makes me very nervous when its discussed cause we don't want unwanted attention when people gather together.

I've been sending pms to people about it but whether they change it is up to them.
Also, people have been giving up the date way to easily. See you all on February 45th!

Yeah, I've had to press the notify mod button a few times because people posted in the NE Gathering thread with stuff like "37 days left!!"

I think this is already starting to happen and it kind of sucks. I've heard people brag about the giant doses they plan on doing at gatherings and it kind of sucks.
First of all, no one wants to be your babysitter when shit goes bad. It's not fair to all the people around you. There's nothing wrong with meeting some cool people and having a great time doing something you enjoy doing, but I really hate to see excessiveness ruin more then one persons experience.

I'm just looking forward to a weekend away from anything that can be called a city, surrounded by trees and good people.

I know what you mean dreamer, I agree fully. I have edited many posts about dru use at gatherings, unfortunately we have people who think its cool to see how much drugs one can handle... whats the point in doing all those drugs unless you can blab to everyone about it...?? lol I'll be playing it cool this weekend, as for the date release.. i dont think its really a big issue, it just makes me feel a bit better to keep it a bit on the wraps.. like a lil rave you know.. the time/place isnt released until the last day or day before. If I do this next year it will be much different, I think it will be an event of its own, with its own website.. to protect the shroomery and its users... I have alot of time to think about it. Thanks for your concern dreamer.

Mabey its just Paranoia, but i'm convinced there were undercovers floating around the gathering... The black dude, and older white lady on the right side of the screen smelled especially strongly of bacon. Earlyer in the day, the lady was overheard saying how she "gets to play deputy sherrif today" Than strolled up with old dude, who asked for weed than wouldn't hit the pipe. Launched into a rant about how this was the shroomery, there should be drugs. "back in the 90's i had 8000 hits of acid" than as he was walking away they pulled me to the side, and asked without looking me in the eye, if i knew wher to find "pizza toppings" Of course i told him to get the hell on.
Aside from this one creepy incident, there was an influx of shady shady people hanging about trying to score drugs. Aside from kids, and stupid locals. Did anybody notice all the middle aged white dudes in there brand new store bought hippie clothes trying to get all up on the nuts of the shroomery?
This is probly just my own paranoia. Everybody be careful, and stay safe.

I think the loud techno just attracted a lot of weird townies Saturday night, it was like proclaiming the Shroomery gathering as party central...I didn't get cop vibes off of them, just bad ones.

agreed...I must have been elsewhere when those peeps strolled through, but anyone who asked me where they could find stuff, I just told them nobody here was gonna hook them up, and that everyone was there to enjoy themselves and the gathering, certainly not to make money. Most of the people understood this and moved on. A couple folks lightly hassled me about it, but I just told them, in a nice way, to take a hike.

Hey Dreamer!
Thanks for that post. It just goes to show how not being aware of your surroundings can get you into trouble. Awareness is k3y.
