Now, the drug issue. I know my comments probably won't be all that popular.

I've given this significant thought for years now. And my final conclusion is:

Where can we rent a narcotics dog?

I would be THRILLED, OVERJOYED, EXUBERANT to not have any drugs in the venue. I don't have anything against people taking drugs responsibly (preferably at home where they aren't putting other people at risk). But if we could get rid of the drugs *inside* the venue, it would take away a lot of problems.

It's your own business what you do outside the venue, we can't control that. If there were no drugs inside, it would get rid of a significant number of problems. First, there would be almost no mixing drugs, because people wouldn't be buying pills from multiple dealers. Two, it would incredibly reduce the chances of an OD or zoned-out drugtard because they wouldn't be able to to keep buying and taking pills. Three, drug dealers are doing something illegal and there is crime that comes along with that; it would reduce thug activity if there was no drug dealing occurring. Four, it would make raves less of a problem for police (which means they'd harass us less). Five, those people who come to parties ONLY to buy drugs and do large quantities of drugs would no longer come to parties.

I don't think anyone can say that having those five points happen would be a bad thing.

Unfortunately, I also know this is in Robin's Dreamworld.

Some people want to do drugs. Some people are going to capitalize on that need. Their actions are going to jeapordize the safety and enjoyment of rest of us.

This is an issue that I feel deeply and strongly about. Frolic and I have put an extraordinary amount of work into Hulla; it's like our baby. And every time something significantly bad had happened, it has happened as a *direct* result of drug activity. The negative aspects of drug use have been, and continue to be, a threat to our creation, our livelihood, and the people who attend our parties.

There isn't really anything we can do about it. We like the Opera House because they're stringent in their searches, but legally there's a lot of areas that security can't search. People who really want to get drugs in will find a way to get drugs in. It makes me sad to know that some people consider our parties to be nothing more than a place to do drugs. I feel that we've tried really hard to create and maintain something truly special, something that can be enjoyed without being fucked out of your skull.

I can't stop you from taking drugs at a party or anywhere else. If you make the decision to do so, please limit your consumption, and don't mix drugs. Remember that your actions affect not only yourself, but everyone around you, and the ramifications may be much more serious than you expect.
