Hi! I was thinking of going to the gathering but just heard from someone who lives in Steamboat that their friend went up there to check it out and was sprayed in the face with acid. Are people often dosed against there will at gatherings? As a straight-edger I would not be amused if it happened to me. Perhaps its more likely to happen at some camps than others? Cheers!
i don't think there's enough good acid around for people to bepulling that. I haven't seen it since the 80's at dead shows. Sounds like urban myth to be to me.
I have been going to gatherings for many years and im sory to say but i have seen people get dosed unknowingly but not unwillingly, however it wasnt a true L and it is verry rare and would happen at some camps rather than others,I have never been dosed unknowingly..
Very rare for someone to unknowingly get dosed; never heard of anyone being dosed against their will at a Gathering. When eating sweets that have strange hippie names, you might ask what is in them, they could be ganja treats...
its extremely rare & personaly it would piss me off to no end if it happened to me or if i ever heard of it happening if this truly did happen to your freind, it certainly should be brought to the attention of shante sena i have a spinal chord injury..psychodelics no longer agree with me (i quite them altogether bout 5 years prior to my injury) if i was dosed unknowingly it can cause severe reactions. trust me, if it does happen, it is grounds for calling a shanta sena council on whoever does it plesse..come...& inform your freind that this action is in no way ok, & they can, & perhaps should inform shanta sena about it & have that person dealt with either just yell shantasena loud as u can..or inform anyone with a radio or info..or bring it up at council you are as much a leader of the rainbow as anyone, you have every right..& responcibility..to try to set things right anytime you feel wronged unwilling dosing is in no way ok but sum newby idiot who doesnt know better might think this is somethimg fun to do, & may think anyone ther would appreciate it..but thats not the case & they need to be set right i have never ever heard of this at a gathering, howeber i had seen at shasta some idiot offering ppl crystal wash uf unknown strength to people whodd never tripped b4..taken willingly yes..but it was so incredibly powerful..& because it was unknowmn strength they took massive amounts..it was just totaly iresponcible & caused may problems.. respect is the only law of rainbow.. unwilling or irresponcible dosing is not respectful enough said
sprayed in the face with acid?? at what gathering?? man i wish i coulda been there.. ohh this gathering??? pffft.. yeah thats why its all over the web an the national gaurd has came in.. hey i wonder if paulie could debunk this rumor???
wow yeah like A camp would waste there hypothetical acid on a bliss ninney.. wtf???????? hell i doubt theyed poor there booze down there throat.. one should be so lucky.. why ya talkin shit like that nutz?? one or some camps more likely to dose people an ya point A camp out?? yer not thinkin clearly are ya??
Can't see any hypothetical doses being wasted on a Bliss Ninny either...those kids with the 'dose me' signs never find what they're looking for! Crazy rumors, that's all this is; like the time in MN when JuJu was pouring water for some locals & the locals wouldn't drink it cuz he had a piece of paper in his hand (bumper sticker backing paper from a sticker kick-down). This rumor probaly had a completely innocent beginning like someone spraying people with water to cool their hike...
sorry to offend ya HHB,wasnt tryin to but ive seen a lot of stuff happen during my time of gathering...
huh. Paul was a looking at NM and he got some of the lightest weight he'd ever been near. 'Twas a bit unrefined (body aches, other wierdness).
Thanks for the info everyone! I didn't hear that from a friend but a poster on the burning man forums. Where would be a good place for a first night's camp?
go past the parking lot and walk into the gathering. Anywhere will do... well except a stream or latrine ha ha... j/k Mike...
pick a kitchen that feels good & camp behind it somewhere shut up & eat it or tea time however will make sleep very dificult, lovin ovens is usualy a nice peaceful spot but often its sirta out of the way i usualy get there on no sleep, so hike in towards main circke ..& finda nice lil spot to setupfor the night with the intention of moving in the morn to a better spot, but usualy when i wake in the morn i find i found the perfect spot by accident yoga meadow & indiginouse viliage are usualy very peaceful areas as well u may also decide to just sleepunder the stars the 1st night wherever u end up & explore a bit before u decide where to camp edit--- burning man forums huh? burning man is very different from rainbow..in fact there isnothing at all in this world that u could compare to a gathering, it is completely unique ya cant say well it happened at this fest so it will happen at a gathering..rainbow & rainbow people are totay different from anything youve experienced, or even maybe imagined
