the harsh reality is an existing culture of prolonged poly-drug use from the mid-Noughties was already causing issues, then mephedrone and other legal highs really brought things on top.. not just at glade but lots of other licensed events.
Yeah i hear you on this one, around about the beginning of the decade there seemd to be a change in trend of drug use. Whilst everying in the nineties was all trips and e’s, the noughties have largley been about about k and coke.
i could bang on for hours about why this was a bad thing but they changed the scene irreporably due to the differences in the way people felt and behaved whilst on them. Ravers went from being seen as smily happy hippy types which people were much more likely to tolerate, to fucked up yobs, making parties unfriendly and daunting events to those looking in from outside.
And dont even get me started on these new legal highs, i know its a lot to do with age but i wouldnt even touch most of them. the ironic thing is that i think to myself, you dont even know what youre taking but then thats what my mum used to say to me when she saw the state of me after a night on one. i dont know about anyone else but when someone sells something as wheel trim cleaner, even if that is a blag, theres no way im going to take it. like i said ironic, cos when i was 18 i would have taken anything put in front of me.
thanks for the explanation though, it puts it into perspective for me as to why last years was cancelled.
