God, I love seeing Darwinism in action.

What makes you think I give a damn what a druggie with piss poor grammar thinks?

Stay home junkie. This isn't the rave you're looking for.

I am not so sure I agree. If you decided to ingest radioactive heavy metals, and then let them pass through into the sewer system via urination and defecation, then you might be exposing some people to harm. (I have a dear friend who has in his duties the job of maintaining the water treatment plant in SSF.) Unintended consequences. Like maybe the weed you buy (if you buy it) may come from a clandestine farm that is busy polluting a protected watershed with fertilizers, litter, and fecal matter from the workers/farmers.

The most dangerous LEGAL over the counter drug sold in the usa was radium in a syringe.
Side effects appeared fairly quickly.

But that "never having to turn on the light" goodness made it all worthwhile.

be wary of undercover agents.

I've seen normal looking folks dressed in black (never costumes) sneakin around in the dark on the playa. They kinda looks like the young mormons who ring your doorbell. They sometime are on foot, they sometimes are on bikes, they linger and they watch.......but they follow you around if look act like a party go-er. It's easy to get one on you if you having a wild and crazy time (like some folks). .....keep everything on the DL until your clear of em, Be wary of who is around you. If they are not a FREAK don't trust em.

You Can't Fake The Freak.

I got nothin against mormons. peace

There was this sweet boy from New Zealand in my camp in 03 who got a hardcore reacharound from the long arm of the law. Some drag-queens in a pot leaf car gave him a ride home and he gifted them a joint. Ten minutes later the cops showed up and dragged him off in handcuffs. Fucking drag queens were undercover cops... So, boys and girls, the moral of the story is either:
a. Don't do drugs
b. Don't share your drugs
or c. Don't trust drag queens in pot leaf cars

If you must do drugs on the playa, bring them with you, don't get your ass pulled over, consume your drugs inside your own tent, and try not to act like a stumbling idiot once you leave your tent. They won't arrest you for acting like an idiot, but it's annoying as hell.

what jezebel said...times ten..

stay out of site...go into a "Private" enclosure, where the windows and doors are closed.

yes, aroma CAN get you in trouble.

pretend you are 13 again, and the consequences of getting caught are unthinkable.

hide it away, be secretive...it is NOT A DRUG FREE FOR ALL...if it is viewed, it will be acted upon, so make the leo's job easier and dont let them see "it"..

they really dont want to ruin your burn (well, 99% of them) but they are obligated to do their job.

so help them out, do everything you can not to get caught.

Elevenses (now correctly spelled by me). This was the reference. But Pooh liked his Honey on Bread, with condensed milk. I fucking hate Pooh.

Why slam Pooh? Who doesn't love Pooh? Got Pooh? Give Pooh a chance! I am not talking about shampoo, I am talking about real Pooh!

Be sure to mark any undercover art cars as such.
If they ask you for drugs, no registration, probably cops.
Don't allow them to abuse the vehicles that are so special out there.
Create a distraction, then label.

If they want drugs for a ride...

And don't fall for the "Let's trade drugs" thing.

When you are asked, the answer is always,
"There are drugs in Reno."

It would be so much fun to be an undercover drag queen cop out on the playa...

they can be 'in black', they can be 'drag queens', they can be 'twenty-something hotties', they can be 'tourists', they can be 'yahoos'....but you KNOW they will be there....and they're not burners.....

Yeah... But they look like them. And you know they do!

They also sign up on this board with silly assed names like OxyContin 420 or some shit, fishing. Had them here before. Like you didn't know this already.

Gift them love. But use yer head. I got nothing against undercovers (I was married to a cop many years ago), just don't hand them the reason to go to work fucking up your burn. You stuff it in your face (by having a smoke out in the middle of your camp, or trading drugs, or falling for stupid shit), and they will.

Remember these facts. Their job is to catch the darwin failures and bust them, at the same time making time and a half to pay for their house and 4wd and vacation in Aruba or something, get funding for their department, maybe even pull a promotion. YOUR job is to NOT be an idiot child Darwin case, and enjoy your burn. Pretty easy, huh? You bet.

And... um... a word to the wise. We had officers just inside the gate at opener last year looking in cars, writing DUI tickets, and even searching vehicles when they smelled dope. DON'T have open containers or a car that reeks of smoke when you get thru greeters, keep cool and mellow until you're in camp, as you never know... it's pretty azzholic, but remember their job - they're looking for the Darwin School of Failures. Don't be one, OK?

That kind of shit is Nevada voting for us to take our crazy selves and our cash and get the fuck out of Nevada.

We should listen when someone else welcomes us.

Unless you guys are planning on moving Burning Man to open water there will be undercover cops there busting people. Laws are laws, as so far as states go Nevada probably has the loosest morals when it comes to law-making.

gyre · Post by **gyre** » Sat Jul 19, 2008 3:40 pm

I think it depends on the laws.
Nevada doesn't look like a fair state to be prosecuted for anything in.
They are very harsh about many things, yet allow rigged casinos to operate.
Many places are not so aggressive about non-crimes like smoking.

Private property won't eliminate undercover, but it might cut down on the attempted entrapment I have experienced more than once myself.

I still plan to tag any undercover art car that asks me to trade them drugs or whatever.
I am very offended by that.

We don't have to tolerate it.
And you can bet I'll make sure photos get out of the "caught" undercover art car.

I agree! for a conservative state, its pretty fucking cool. Love your gun laws especially. But not a place to fool with that shit.

in 2006, we were sitting around inside our dome when this Undercover comes in and says "Hey, any Y'all have anything for my head"

we looked blankly at him...

he repeated "you know, a buzz, for my head"

and we quickly replied that jiffy lube was giving free blowjobs down the street and was that what was looking for?

we also offered to cut his hair.

he shook his head and left...outside were 4 atv's with leos waiting to rush in, i imagine at the appropriate signal....so BE CAREFUL, and dont do stupid shit in public spaces...

and if in doubt, sniff them.....cops smell funny.
