unfortunately after 20 years of this and another economic depression the rest of society (who make the rules) is a lot more cynical – I think the nation is still divided between tolerance and greater clampdowns and though a lot of progressive gains were made in the good times of the 1990s (particularly before the millenium when the economy was booming) the balance has shifted very slightly against tolerance the last 10 years.
When I first started getting involved with this site nearly 10 years ago, there was a party every week, pills were nearly as good as legal (cops didn’t even bother the dealers) and we could put whole partylines and even rough regions of where raves were happening up on here. We could mention rig names, DJ’s, crews, put up photos and TVP didn’t do shit even though most of us then lived in the TVP area…
the way to get stuff decriminalised is for people to be discreet about it and hold down normal jobs and contribute more widely to society, like how many party folk do in other European nations..
