We did find some smoke, eventually, but god d@mn I walked around forever on thursday and friday trying to find some. Then my friend walks to the bathroom from our site in BFE and scores. So it kinda finds you sometimes I guess. It just wasn't even an issue in 04, this year it definately was. I guess the busts had alot to do with it, but I am enjoying some of the delicious smoke that was to be had even as I type right now.
Or not. 10k more people and the same number of arrests with smaller quantities? Hmm.

Nuggets were hard to find if you got unlucky, there was clearly a shortage as the Clean Vibe volunteers hit me up trying to find some like 20 times over the weekend. Finally got some for $40 an 1/8 and I was happy.

i had an awesome time at the roo, i did have a little bit of a hard time finding headies, but eventually i did, the only thing that sucked is that someone broke into our van and took everything of value, i.e cd player lots of cash and they tried to take the battery, but thanks to excellent planning we had it bolted in. thank you bad areas of houston for making me bolt down my battery, hopefully they needed the money more than we did,

uhg that is horrible im really sorry to hear that.
i agree with everyone saying bud was IMPOSSIBLE to get. im from Canada, so i guess im used to finding it easily but i must of asked 50 different people all over the campground and in centeroo. NO ONE WOULD EVEN SELL ME A J FROM THEIR STASH AND ONLY 2 OF THE 50 OFFERED ME A TOKE!!!!! wow, lots o' greedy people.
i did find a guy selling bags like hotcakes, but the guy in front of me bought his last 1/4 and wouldnt split it with me. the dealer felt bad and threw his last 2 grams at me FOR FREE. now thats a generous dude. (thats what i expected from Roo).
funny i couldnt get bud but i must have been offered E like 25 times (seriously) as well as yeho a few times. other than that BONNAROO KICKED ASS!!!

I'm with you brother. No nugs all weekend here. Supplemented the paltry quantity I brought in with BROWNIES and GOO BALLS, FFS. Of course I could have bought anything else... E, molly, yay-yo, doses, chocolates, all abundant. Too bad I don't do anything but herb. Only thing close was convincing a guy to sell me two grams out of his bag for 15$ while waiting for beck.
I made sure to bring my own stash. It was by far better than what small amounts we saw for sale.

Why would you expect that? Bring your own. You're like all these other bums that want a handout. I would have toked with you, but if you expected me to give you 2 grams because someone bought the last, I would tell you to f-off.
wow bud was sooo not impossible to get in tent-only, we had SO much we were trying to give it away the last night LOL (and the second batch was way cheap and better than the first)... haha I was actually yelling to myself "stems!! this sucks" and throwing it behind me (yeah i was a little buzzed )... we just sat in our canopy and numerous super-excellent delivery products came to us
I was dissapointed that I only found 2 people selling bud the whole weekend and they were over priced beasters, no headie buds, I saw numerous people selling everything else acid shrooms, coke and meth. Not to mention The Drug Task Force agents at the front gate that tore my truck apart and found a dimebag of weed and a bowl. They are supposed to send a fine to me in the mail they wouldnt tell me how much it was, so it must be a lot. It goes to the city of Manchester, Like they dont make enough money off of it anyway.

man your totally not in the roo spirit. we met some fellow rollers at radiohead and danced our asses off. they were out in bfe so we all walked back to my site and got 2 case of water and more drugs. i gave away over 150 dollars of boomers and rolls and wouldnt have had it any other way. im poor and its not easy to do but fuc.k it man. people are so fuc.king great at roo that it dosent matter. i had the time of my life partying wit all of those people. and im confident that if the situation had been reversed that they would have helped me out. but oh well man. i hope noone ever gives you anything so you dont feel bad about yourself. im sure karma will handle that for you though

Roo was a great time, yes there was definatly a sortage of nuggets, too many booms, pressies, and yayo, but it was still a hell of a lot of fun. On our ride home, we tried to figure out what was up with the weird vibes going around and we basically figured it was a huge frat party. We figure its due to matisyahu blowin up as of recently and tom petty and radiohead headlining. I was dissapointed when people left phil lesh cause it rained for 10 minutes and that there was almost no one for moe. but all in all it was a great time and i cant wait till next year!
i fell asleepp during streets an woke up half way through moe. i hard the second half at camp and it sounded great. and i remember it raining for a lot longer then 10 minutes at phil

who do you think you are calling me a bum pal!!!
first of all i didnt EXPECT ANY handouts, i would have payed any price for some bud. its not my fault that Bonnaroo takes place in a country that puts us Canadians into an interrogation room in the airport on our way to 'Roo.
do you really think i should have brought my own on the plane (by the way which is much better and waaaaaaaay cheaper than your imported stuff) im sure the pigs who hounded us for 1/2 an hour as to why we were coming to the states and what Bonnaroo was would have LOVED to nail me for smuggling if they found stuff on me.
so thats why i didnt bring my own.
and you're probably one of those guys who just shrugged me off when i asked to BUY doob, not once did i ask for anything for free i had money to spend, but the only ones who wanted to take it were the dudes pushing E on everyone
this was my first year at bonnaroo so i don't have anything to compare it to, but it did seem a bit shady. as soon as we parked at our camp site and started to take out the tents, some black dudes approached us and offered shr00ms, which turned out to be fake. they looked real but i split a quarter with my buddy and absolutely nothing happened. i saw the same 2 dudes the next day selling on (one of the) shakedown areas and told him that the stuff he gave me didn't work, and he just kind of walked away. so from then on i was extremely skeptical but only got ripped off once.
i had no problems with security - except... we wanted to leave sunday night so we got all packed up before we headed to phil lesh. i had a real nice knife i used to cut down the ropes for our tarps and stuff, and i forgot to take it out of my pocket before i got to centeroo. this was the only time that i was told to "remove everything from my pockets", so i did and he grabbed the knife and put it in his pocket, as if i was going to attack him with it, before completely patting me down, as if i was being arrested. i askef if i could take the knife back to my camp site and he said "absolutely not" and kind of pushed me out of the way to search the next person. i realize it is my fault but that really bummed me out, i've had that knife for a long time and the dude probably just kept it. oh well, great time overall.

I had no problem with anything this year. Our car was lightly searched and we had about an 8th of some high beaster and all the nug we got there was headies. We actually got an 8th of this really good purple haze. But some one got busted with 50 pounds at the gates so that kinda screwed up stuff. I also saw some dude on friday at 4 in the morning getting arrested. There was like 3 cops on each guy and they were searching them with force. What made me laugh though was that literally 20 feet away there were these guys in their van smoking blunts watching these dudes get busted.
I found no problems at roo either. As soon as i got out of the car someone came up to me with a fanny pack full of hash rocks, then when i popped the trunk someone approached me with shrooms and black opium with prolly was heroin. During the day the hash guy came back around about 5 times the whole trip, and a very very well timed lady approached us late at night in our camp offering some jack herrer for like 45 an 8th, also found lots of headies at shakedown on occasion but sometimes had to look for very long periods of time

It was shadier this year than usual, if I am correct.
We got searched by the POLICE on the way in. They asked permission (consent), and I had to say yes. If I didn't they woulda had the next guy search even harder (and I don't think my crew wanted that). It's BS that they Manchester police were doing this, they are basically bullying people into saying yes. They even said ,"If you have anything illegal, tell us now, and we'll just ditch it. We have written fines for up to 2 pounds."
They searched through my backpack including all of my small packs and stuff. they commented on my friend having a bunch of one dollar bills (he had like $200 of them). He works as a pizza delivery guy, and he's been saving all his ones for months. The cop said, "What? Do you own a strip club or something?".
Another shady story: I met some guys with a friend of a friend. My friend left, so I hung out with the other guys. I had to pee so the one guy said they'd watch my stuff. (I don't know why I didn't instinctively take my pack with me). When I returned, I was 99% sure that I saw the one guy try to nonchalantly zip my bag back up, like he was getting in it. I asked him if he was getting in my bag, and he got all flustered, so it was pretty obvious that he did, even though he swears he wasn't. There was a tiny bit of doubt(it was late and I was altered), so I didn't respond except to tell him that that wasn't cool, if he was, and I was sorry to accuse him if I was wrong. I'm pretty sure he took something, as he was hiding something. There seemed to be nothing missing, so I don't know what he would have gotten. I was mostly concerned about my digi camera, and that was still in there. I took my backpack for a walk and checked everything. When I returned 2 minutes later, he was gone. This pretty much confirmed my suspicion. I'm not a violent person, but I shoulda punched him out for that!
Later that morning I was sitting in my campsite half asleep and my two buddies were asleep in their chairs. A gang (yes, it was definitely a gang) of what I would refer to as "tour rats" were walking by. There was one girl and 3 guys. They were carrying shit like backpacks and stuff. They were on a mission, it seemed. The girl looked into our campsite and her eyes lit up. She saw something she wanted, and made a beeline to enter our shade tent. Then she saw me awake. She immediately made a "Oh nuts I'm busted" look, and turned and walked away. It was obvious to me that they were pillageing (sp).
Also at Phil Lesh and Friends, my friend put his bookbag on the ground and turned around a couple of minutes later and it was gone. It contained his wallet and cell phone I think. It was dark so i lent him my flashlight to look around, but it was gone quick.
These are my stories to relate about shadiness this year. I'll definitely be more careful next year.
i had some, and talked to someone else that did - there was great blond hash around...
goo balls are pointless. uhm, and i heard the chocolates were just...meh.
i got a bum bubbler on shakedown...sucks, but it will look cool on the wall in my poolroom.
I had insane (in the best way possible) chocolates. nuff said.
and let me add they tasted extremely good too!!!!
I think I had the same chocolates. they tasted REALLLY good and were amazing. and I didn't have any problems with anything this year. sure you could tell there was a shortage, but it was there; never didn't have any. I actaully heard of more shit this year than anything else.
