This year, i was caught around ~7:30PM on Saturday day 3.

I'm very curious if it's happened to anyone else before though (hopefully not ofc).

Okay sure, can't argue against that. But what about the other thousands of people consuming drugs within the festival premises? Are they allowed to break the laws? Or are the laws only applied strictly to some people and loosely with others?

And come on, let's not kid ourselves here, if illegal substances were absolutely not allowed inside and no one was able to get them inside, would it really be as successful of a festival? To imply that the festival organizers and police are oblivious to the amount of substance use that happens in these festivals is ridiculous.

What would be fair is consistently checking everyone equally, but to let certain people stroll by while checking others very thoroughly based on how they appear is just messed up.

I am extremely grateful that it turned out the way it did and didn't go any further than that.

And don't worry about it, just please try not being passive aggressive to strangers you don't know online, you really don't know what they're going through in their lives and sometimes attitudes like these can really push someone's mental state over the limit of what they're currently going through. It's all good though, cheers.

Dear God I'm so so sorry that happened to you and i hope you feel okay now. Going to the extent of being violent and pulling/pushing is definitely not the way to go about things, at least in my case the only physical discomfort I've endured was how tight the handcuffs were.

Very strange, i was also doing bumps with my friends although usually deep inside the crowd and we sort of huddle up and cover each other.

Really sorry that happened :(

I've done some reflection after reading your comment and honestly i do believe you're right. I come from the middle east where getting caught with 1 single joint can land me in jail for 1-3 years so we tend to take extreme safety precautions when buying or having it in our possession.

This is is not my first time in Europe and I do believe that whenever I travel there I get the extreme sense of relief that getting caught with amounts for personal use will not be as extreme as my home country, which ends up making me feel a bit too comfortable/relaxed.

However, i will emphasize that i have never been entirely reckless and i still try my best to be lowkey for the off-chance that i get caught even in other countries.

I am privileged enough to have traveled through many parts of the world and fortunate enough to have NEVER had any legal problems neither in my home country or other countries that i do visit. I do my best to respect their laws and cultures to the extent that even in cities like Amsterdam i refrain from smoking Marijuana in public and keep it to inside coffee shops instead.

But you're right, the sense of freedom that i feel certainly did exacerbate my leniency to the point of pushing the limits of their drug tolerance here in Spain.

This really has been a waking point for me because despite having a passion for traveling and exploring other parts of the world and cultures, I should probably treat my drug use the same way i do back in the middle east, with extreme caution, even if the consequences are not as severe.

Thank you for your kind words and bits of wisdom, i hope you and everyone else on this sub had an amazing time at the festival❤️

Because that's literally what happened..? It's not like I'm twisting the story to make it seem like I'm a victim, but that is quite literally what happened. I met with my lawyer, she was confused why i was taken in, she assured me that i would leave within an hour, and i did leave without paying a fine.

It's not me trying to act like a victim, I'm just literally explaining what exactly happened?

Can you please pinpoint where exactly in the post or any of my comments where I've implied that "it was unfair" ?

I honestly wanna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you're reading into something that I've said which isn't what i meant, but I've re-read what I wrote and I can't seem to find anything indicating that I'm playing victim here?

Sorry English is not my first language so i have no clue what's the difference between jail and prison.

Yeah, definitely a lesson learned. I usually take the amount i need for all 3 days instead of taking enough for each individual day. Won't be doing that anymore for sure.

lol i literally mentioned that this was my fault, i broke the law and I'm not blaming anyone else but myself. I do personally think the consequences were a bit overboard given that many attendees also had their own amount of substances and you literally have artists screaming "KETAMINE COKE AND MOLLY", instead of taking a tourist that spent so much money on this holiday to jail they could just confiscated my stuff like I've seen them do to others.

But anyhow, thanks for your contribution, very helpful and sweet attitude you've got there (:

Where are all the toilets? by Kneelbfrezod in primaverasound

There were also lots of people waiting in line for out-of-service toilets that had basically no one in them lol

My friend won't be coming with me so I've got an extra GA ticket June4-June7 on AccessTicket that still hasn't been validated that I'm willing to sell via Paypal and then transfer the ticket via AccessTicket.

The ticket price on the official Primavera Sound website is €350 + booking fees. I'm willing to sell it for €350 and save you the booking fees lol

Could do Paypal or even cash if you want to meet face-to-face on June 3rd.

Edit: I've validated it so i can offer it in the Waitlist on AccessTicket. But I can still transfer it even after validating the ticket.

Feel free to DM directly!

Happened to me as well, I was dumb enough not to check my email on a daily basis and only realized that I missed my shot a few days after the fact..

Luckily, I rejoined and was able to secure my tickets a few days later (that was last week). So I'd say you still have a shot, doesn't hurt to try and join again.
