Do people still throw joints onstage?

I remember a few years back, someone threw a joint onstage and ed said something like, "thanks we will enjoy that later".
Do people still do this, and has ed commented on them in the same way?

Probably.....PJ played 2 days after the Dead. It was the last show with Garcia.
yep that was the solder field show "the dead" played Friday, Saturday .." pearl jam played Monday .7-11-1995".. it was Jerry's last show ever ..

“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
Someone who worked for me had been tasked to find some heroine for at least one of them. I believe she told them that she simply couldn't. Other stuff however would not have been so difficult.
Jerry had a little briefcase which held serious stuff and traveled everywhere he did. This was told to me from the most reliable of sources.

On a Black Crowes rider I read was 1 half oz of high grade pot for every member. It usually looks like Chris Robinson smokes the whole stash.
My question.... Do promoters/venues have gophers for stuff like this?
They are "runners", though for things in the rider catering usually takes care of things they know they need in advance.
A promoter can take out an illegal request during negotiations with a band. ...but a band can ask for whatever they want.
I was asked to be a runner during a PJ show... but declined. I had front-row-center tickets!

Fact: The Dead left their stage at Solider field so PJ could use it.
It makes financial sense. Both bands can split the stage bill and stagehand costs.
In a stadium, it's usually about a 1 week stage build. That's expensive. It's a WORLD away from an arena show where everything is up and down within 20 hours.

The people who put-on Coachella also do a country festival the week after Coachella.....saves a fortune on set-up costs.
Several years ago, there were supposed to be two separate tours The Who, and Black Crowes/Jimmy Page) that played cities one day apart, so that they could use the same crew in order to save $$.
