That is a great perspective you have there pinemom. All it takes for me is a camping trip on the weekend with some killer rock climbing and I couldn't tell the difference between old friends and the brand new ones. Happiness is natural and contagious. I wish all a very happy BM 2007. It may sound a ...

I just ran into a guy who went in 2000. Strangely enough his first-hand account of the event is much different then what you all have said. By his (possibly skewed) perspective, 50% of the hardcore participators "must have been on drugs". This may be the thoughts of a closed mind which judges sober ...

Heli... I'm giving you +5 points for being cute.

Wow guys I certainly didn't know where this question was going to go. Honesty time: I am a drug user. As a personal choice I think that my responsible personal use doesn't hurt anyone. However all of your insightful thoughts on this matter have made me NOT WANT to use at the BM. When i break the law...

Thanks for the perspective wedeliver. All i can hope is that the spirit of that era will one day merge with the modern age. I have never understood why psycho-actives which can be taken safley are lumped with the most damaging and addictive substances on earth. All i can hope is that history will re...

That works out great. I used to dancer for nambla events.

I wouldn't be that surprised. Some believe that the power of communal willpower can do anything. (With faith the size of a mustard seed, you can move mountains).... If you believe in stuff like that.

Thank you for your info Dr. Placebo, sincerely. I also encourage your skepticism. My thoughts on drug use aside an event like the BM should be protected from anyone who would place it's future in peril. I'm seriously just curious. Probably the best thing is just to go and see; and from what i've hea...

If the BM was about fire worship i think i would need to be on drugs to enjoy it. The truth, it seems, is stranger than fiction. Who would believe that people would like the playa, art, and other people for an entire week without a hidden agenda?

Thanks guys. Like I said, i'm a nube and don't quite have a grasp on the society yet. As a philosophy student it sounds like a short term utopia where humanity is more important than society. (meaning society is a nessasary evil) I guess i can't expect any data or serious thought on such a sticky to...

Sorry if i asked an inappropriate question. If i have to ask it's probably because i want to know. To be honest when i hear ignorant accounts of the BM it includes talk of rampent illegal drug use. I just want the truth. 500mg of midol might do you some good Badger. Also, i read the terms of service...

I am a nube to the burning man and hope to enjoy and participate in the experience that you all rave about. Though enforcement and non-tolerence policies about illegal drugs are quite clear I'm sure that it still goes on. Can you guys answer honestly about the level of enforcement and impact of drug...
