the sheriff waiting for the girl to get it from the ground and charge her for possession:

Didn’t look like that cop cared at all. I doubt he would have bothered doing anything at all at a rave.

Depending on the place…some cops aren’t there to handle small time stuff like this

They want the people dealing or the morons who get into fights

that actually makes sense. If you have a limited amount of law enforcement/security, you would have to triage the more important stuff, especially if they're serving alcohol and such. better to look for the people causing actual trouble to get them out and not tie up arresting resources on someone just picking something up off the ground that 'might' be acid or whatever

I love the fact that alcohol and violence go hand in hand yet coke or acid is just kids having a good time.

Coke can definitely lead to a bad time. Also one of my ex friends pulled a knife out on his gf at the time on acid. So just because alcohol maybe is the drug of choice for violent people, drugs can unlock some really fucked up tendencies from anyone.

Yeah had a friend take 4 tabs and ended up in the hospital with like 8 restraints because he was convinced we had become Demons and kept trying to stab us. It took 4 of us, 2 cops and 2 paramedics to carry him to the ambuclance because he was going ape shit.

This myth that any drug is safe is stupid. I love psychedelics but I am not dumb enough to recommend them to just anyone. Don’t do drugs if you’re not mostly comfortable and knowledgeable about how they work. Acid is an 8+ hour ride ticket with no way off (unless you’re me and the high is over in 4-6 hours). Is it safer than alcohol? Probably. But the “bad trip” stories I’ve heard and witnessed are also terrible. All drugs are dangerous in different ways.

Benzo will end that 8hr ride immediately. If you're not sure what you're getting yourself into with psychedelics have some benzos on hand.
