There is societal feeling that drug use will be tolerated at these venues and police and security uphold this feeling by allowing it. We are all social beings and sometimes there is something about certain drugs, especially psychedelics that lend themselves to being used in a shared setting. So until society attitude changes and drug use is tolerated in a variety of different settings, this behavior will continue. As more persons come on board and become educated and experienced to discover there are other settings, maybe even better settings, the situation will generally change.

As an American youth, it's easy to lose hope amongst all those too distracted to look into the very crux of life. Keep em' coming. I suppose by comparison to some of these vets I'm just getting my feet wet, but I must admit, its quite the plunge. It is so encouraging to know there are others out there.
