People on SJ are moaning about not being able to get in (think its same event) so they must have been limiting things to an extent. How do people wrack up lines at an indoor licenced event I never understood that part (without risking being kicked out/causing the event organisers a load of problems).
its not impossible but not as easy as it once was, particularly in provincial towns where the security are the same rentaguards you would see on the front counter of offices or in shops and aren’t going to lose their SIA card for collusion with drug users, particularly those who’ve not just had to leave their home countries but have put in a lot of study to get it (its not all about being “ug, big man” all the time these days!)
I recently got sent an interesting magazine about the local underground music scene of East Anglia way back in the 1960s, written by some folk who were a big part of it back in the day, I also speak to a lot of older people in my area. TBH they got up to as much if not more than we did, and all in licensed premises too but the difference was people back then accepted that drugs are illegal and they cannot blatantly take them in public, (no cautions then, if you got caught you’d basically fucked up your future prospects as your own local community would judge you as harshly as the Courts) and therefore users were far more discreet and often delberately very friendly and polite even to authority figures, who would then think “oh, a harmless hippy” and leave them be..
