Convention parties and drugs?
 

Is there a convention that strictly prohibits/discourages the use? I know drugs are everywhere, so it's somewhat normal that they can show up sometimes at parties, but I would like to know if there's some kind of straightedge or alcohol only convention.

Some people just don't want to be around if you know what I mean. And I am curious.

You mean adult conventions?

Actually I was thinking of a Larping convention.

I don't think you have to worry about them doing drugs.

looks like they've done enough drugs already..

your thinking of cybernet, that is the straightedge show

Give them some mead and you have a hell of a party!! Watch out!! :1orglaugh

not everyone is doing drugs at conventions :2 cents::2 cents:

I would have to say very few are. I may have seen two instances ever of anything beyond weed, and that was at someone's home.

I will definitely be partying hard... ;)

Im sorry to say alcohol is the one of the most evil addictive legal drugs known to mankind but then again most people have been programmed to think its not ..thats why 4 of my friends have died from it but non so far from the so called illegal substances :)

WTF is a Larping convention????

So, is there like a drug wink handshake? (Or is it just muttering and a stumbling signal?)

Some posts on another thread made it sound like a more than a few were doing that... and I was wondering because I have not been to a lot of them... but I'll just classify that thread as a troll now.

Anyways, let's go back to our scheduled business...

If that is an example of your scheduled business I don't think you need any drugs.

FWIW: I am of the opinion that those that say conventions are nothing but drugs and alcohol have probably never been to a convention; or that is all they do when they attend.

That would be a personal problem.

Evil E,

From the shows I have attended I didnt see drug abuse if it happened it must have took place in private,all I saw was a lot of drinking..well it is a adult convention and a lot of guys so I think youll find most shows are relaxed and fun and not full of crazy stuff you may read about.:thumbsup

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

you're kidding right?

every show has lots of extracurricular activities.

you either choose to do stuff or you don't, people dont flash it all over the place.

And those that can't handle what they consume are generally the only ones you hear from.


.

I attended the LA show it was big and busy but I didnt see any drug taking or other bad activity.

Dont listen to everything you see or read most shows are aiming for good business and a little relaxing fun.

In fact if they see open drugs I think you would be banned and kicked out,attend a few shows and you will experience for yourself thats the best way :)

Are you Gay Curious and Bi-Curious?

LOL.

Are you blind?

I'm not about to publicly discuss all the shit I have seen but I will say that your post shows complete ignorance.

Guess I must be blind too.

Keep the Devils Lettuce in the private rooms

AaronM,I have never met you and after this post I hope I never do.

Do you really think Im that stupid ? do you think Baddog is also ignorant ?

My advice to you is go to business school,get some life lessons under your belt then come back you stupid fuck

You must hang out with the secret scum crowd that I didnt see :thumbsup

No need for that. She may not be around those people. Over the years drugs and alcohol have lessened a great deal and for those who's only purpose is to get fucked up, will stay in their room and most wont seem them again until the beginning of the next convetion. Its always there but not as public as it used to be. And if you think its so fucking pervasive and obvoiuse I'm guessing I wont be seeing you very often. Enjoy your room.

"Convention parties and drugs ?"

since sex is a drug, why bother ? ;)

Hmmm. How professional of you. :1orglaugh

Based on your original comments, yes....I do think you are pretty fucking stupid.

Baddog is not ignorant, he's respectful of our industry and is not being as upfront as he and I both could be on this issue. Either that or his age is catching up with him. I've been in the same room as him when people were using....This year even. Perhaps he turned a blind eye to it....But that doesn't mean it didn't happen.

However....baddog is not the one who made the following idiotic comment:

"In fact if they see open drugs I think you would be banned and kicked out..."

I've attended shows all over the world. US, Canada, Germany, Holland, Mexico, Thailand, and more.


I will refrain from mentioning any names or specific shows but I have seen drug use from major sponsors as well as the people who put the shows together...Many times. Yet you claim people would be thrown out for such things.

If you don't want to be called ignorant then don't make ignorant statements. :2 cents:

uuuummmm

Thanks EzRhino :thumbsup

You would be guessing wrong.

i guess it won't give a good image, and a good excuse to kick your ass to take drug openly.

You must be considered a snitch for so many people to go out of their way to hide it from you.

I've never done cocaine or played a round of golf in my life....And I've lost business in this industry because of both.

What amazes me the most is that you have mentioned attending ONE show but I have attended many shows and have way more knowledge to draw from on this topic....Yet, you got your panties in a wad when I mentioned that you were being ignorant.

I'm sure you're right though....."There's nothing to see here." :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Aside from the oh so common straight out alcohol abuse and rampant chain smoking you mean? Yes both very common drugs. Then the onslaught of prescription meds and please do not say these are not used and or abused at shows. Then of course marijuana is used medicinally and not medicinally. If you bother to look almost anywhere you will also find others such drugs as coke, ecstasy, LSD, and meth.

Few will bother you with it, though as AaronM also stated though some are a bit off and you can loose some business opportunities if you do not follow along.

Why stop at drugs though, we not get concerned with the amount of sex going on without current tests. Then as mentioned above I have had the most number of issues with people who just drank to fucking much.

Ok AaronM,

you fucking big baller you wanna play lets play....

Example:

Did you attend LA did you see who was handling part of the security for the LA playboy mansion ME check the photos or ask around.

Did you see who was head of handling the team of expo girls with shelly at that show ME.


So let me tell you this fucking big boy if I had caught you or anyone at that show doing drugs in front of me or if any of the girls reported to me the same they would be leaving that show quicker than they came,and that goes for the upcomming New York Show.

What goes on behind closed doors nothing can be done ,but overall shows are clean and dont say your holding back from stuff and Im blind .

You could reveal this and that and your holding back huh!your a fucking schoolchild...

Bottom line is this ..what you do in private is your biz but shows are fun and you will find great people wanting to do business with you and again I will say I have seen no drugs in my presence and if I do you will be FUCKED!

Thank You

are we talking weed? do people smoke weed at these conventions? i know if there was one in Canada I would be stoned the whole time, but probably not drink much more than for the sake of having a drink in my hand.

between you, me and ross sexsearch and monica hotmovies we could hold a straightedge movie, complete with a hardcore band. well at least ross WAS once edge... hahahahaha.

You will get banned instantly for smoking weed at the montreal show or any other show in PUBLIC.

These are professinal expos just becuase its adult doesnt give you a free licence to break the law

The botttom line is simple no DRUGS allowed at shows :thumbsup

I haven't seen too much blantant drug consumption other than alcohol. People tend to actually do their lines, drops, etc behind closed doors or in small parties that I don't seem to be too interested in getting myself invited to. That said, there sure are a lot of people running around conventions who appear to be intoxicated on one thing or another. It's usually the same crowd, though, and they aren't pushy about it.

Basically, if you don't want to be around the drugs, you don't have to be. If you do want to be around them, then you can do that, too.

People do drugs at conventions ?

WOW !

Learn something new every day.

;-)

"if your not straight edge now, you never were!" LOL.

I miss you Vic and Monica! Wish I was going to PHX but I'll be here in LA working deals with our new mainstream-ish site Passionsearch.com. I hope you guys have fun and don't get burnt.

your avatar reminds me of Heidi Fleiss :thumbsup

Not to mention ..... movies, work, the beach, camping .... the key word is discretion, something most could use more of.

Kinda dumb since I'd rather a bunch of guys smoking weed over a bunch of drunk guys, but I see where the law comes in to play here.

How do shows work? People just walk around?

So let me get this straight.

You will make sure that nobody has any vicodin, norco, valium, paxil, cialis, oxy, alcohol, morphine, methadone, nicotine, marinol, marijuana, percodan, percoset, pherazine with codeine, cough syrup, xanax, ativan, librium, haldol, navane, mellaril, thorazine, drixoral cough liquid capsules, robitussin ac, dectuss, phenergan with codeine, phensedyl, restoril, dalmane, halcion, placidyl, miltown, doriden, noludar, quaaludes, ambien, Sonata, desyrel, soma, ritalin, cylert, adderall, to just name a few?

Please note all of the above are valid by prescription and I have not even touched on those that typically would never be prescribed. So please do let me know if I would be in the situation of attending a show that would either put my life at risk or violate my rights, thanks.

Also judging by your wording you are indeed employed by said shows and speak on their behalf right?

:winkwink::winkwink::1orglaugh

That is pretty funny.
