Cocaine?

[MeterPaffay]

Ooh, don't get me wrong, I agree on that -- both that and speed I find hard to be around!

Good to know it (likely) was purely coincidental coming across so many emergencies (myself actually being one of them at a certain point ... oops. But can happen to anyone, really).

Appreciate it -- my thoughts exactly ... in this case I only see 2 options coming out of this lesson though:

Bring your own scale, or don't buy loose weight at Fusion.

Haha, same here Had a little mishap myself too this year, goes to show that even after years of experience and trying to be careful, shit sometimes still happens

Well, the most obvious option is of course bringing your own candy
Comes of course with its own risk, which may not be for everyone. Especially if youre coming from abroad.
But if you know somebody in a crew, that might be your solution for next time. As they can come earlier, and before opening wednesday, there arent nearly as much cops around Lärz and the train stations in Neustrelitz and Mirow.

Yeah, drugs bring out whats inside of us generally, but as a general rule, over my 10 years in the scene, I have seen very few cases in which coke didnt make the person less fun to be with in some way...
But thats a topic for itself.

This year was my 6th time, another round as part of a crew. Not going to name which, but lets just say we notice this kind of stuff.
And I personally didnt perceive it to be worse than the last years, sounds like you just happened to cross paths with more medics and smashed people than usually.

Well damn, that last part is quite a rip off, sorry to hear that!
I got ripped off myself some years ago, but not this badly. I prefer to sort this question out in other ways and getting something from some random person is down low on my list of options regarding this matter.

know what you buy and if you dont, then go to a drug testing stand close to the casino. Also please dont mention several heart attacks when you dont know if any and how many, can you share an article about it? the only article i Find is about a girl hospitalized and the cause is unknown.

I know that because I have heard that information myself from the medical team.
The heart attack risk wasnt publicly announced or anything, if I were to guess, to prevent a panic among the people who bought coke there.

Sorry about that, but exactly! Our bodies serve us well but can ofc malfunction on occasion, in a "perfect storm".

Don't I know it. Rule #1.
If running low, it's easy enough to think grocery shopping on site would be a smooth solution though. Live & learn.

idk but sometime ppl are just confused

I spent some time in the taxi by the Casino, which had a discussion prompt that went something like 'Can you be left and take cocaine?' Great question. (If anyone remembers the exact phrasing, remind us!)

With around 99% of accuracy it was:

"doing Coke& being left: does it work?"

"Koksen & Links sein: geht das überhaupt?"

This year, I really noticed people on cocaine. Cocaine changes the atmosphere significantly - even when people are happy and loving, it's still somehow aggressive, tense, and for me, the anti-thesis of the Fusion feel. There are also the ethics of buying this kind of drug...

What to do?

Ban?
Education?

Should we all start wearing funny anti-cocaine t-shirts?

TLDR I hate cocaine but trying to be open about how to approach this... Autonomism etc etc

I noticed horrible people on alcohol, should we ban? I believe its not the drug, it’s the person itself as I also use coke and had a smile all week:)

While it is true that shitty people do shitty things while high, I also believe it cannot be denied that coke does tend to bring out the worst out of people. Of course not for everyone, but after going to raves and festivals, patterns to start to emerge.
And coke does push the ego for many people, so its not far fetched to see the connection here.

Besides that, this year specifically, buying coke on the grounds wasnt that safe. As there was some ultra pure coke going around which gave multiple people a heart attack.

The pattern definitely emerges

Thank you =)

The honest answer to this would be a clear no!

Without having scientific data at Hand and only based on my perception:
Cocaine ist the worst drug in terms of ecological and social nitghtmares related to.
Starting from the production, via Transport and ending at the user.
A complete trail of devastation and blood.

Yes, if one does not care about and still consumes - go ahead.
But dont Tell me about any of your ideas about a better World prior having a Look into the mirror - the obe at the wall, not the one at the table

haha that would be weird…. if there is a risk you need to share the information as you also have a drug testing stand on site.

Good point.
