some dude in section B14 in a stones shirt walked up to me and told me he was going to get security if we didnt stop smoking and then he actually did. if by small chance your reading this can you tell me why you would ever go so out of your way to try and get me in trouble?

A recent show in the US of eh? No wonder why you have snitches. I am not one bit surprised by your story.

god damn a lot of hypocrites in this thread.
and im talking mostly about the pot smokers. Well I don't give a fuck if you do it, but if some one is bothered, hey, it's a smoke free venue, that's the rules. He's not telling you to stop when you're outside or in your car or your house. He's telling you at an event he payed 60 to go see. I don't care if you want to smoke weed at a concert, but he came to the concert under the assumption that there would be no smoke for him to breathe. He asked you to put it out, why couldn't you have?

Ok, I had to put in my two cents.
First, to the person(s) that label pot as a "narcotic", that is just plain incorrect. I realize in your War on Drugs the past Administrations have classified many substances as narcotics, I guess to scare people or whatever, but a real narcotic is an addictive opiate like heroin or morphine.
Secondly, you should come to expect different situations when you enter a public place with thousands of people, situations you may not agree with if you were in the comfort of your living room. When you attend a rock concert you will be subjected to huge decilbel levels, pushing and shoving, B.O., over indulging in alcohol by some, and yes...pot as well. You may not like or agree with some or all of the above, but should keep it in context of where you are. If it bothers someone to the point of calling a rent-a-cop to complain about the smell of pot, it may be worth asking yourself if the concert going experience is really for you. I used to like going to the nightclubs and having a good time, but I'm older now and just don't have a good time at the clubs anymore. Should I still go and then complain to management that someone is drinking more than I'm personally comfortable with? Ya, right. I just don't go anymore.
Lastly, to the folks that like to bring up the health effects of the brief exposure to the secong hand pot smoke, I agree with you; there are many bad things that can happen when you breathe in any smoke product. But let's get some perspective here. If that REALLY is the issue for you, may I suggest taking your concerns to a level where you can do some good for millions of people? I'll use the city of Houston for example...that city is the most poluted in the U.S. and one of the worst in the world. The toxins that it's citizens are subjected to everyday of their lives are causing so many problems, surely one could take their valid concerns about smoke coming off a joint and apply them to a grander scale.
Just go and enjoy the show. Don't worry about what other people are doing, as long as their not doing direct harm to you. A concert is about people having a good time, and as long as they do it without hurting other people then let's not turn PJ shows into some policing event. Thanks...

Peace

How about the intoxication in public thingy? Half the venue would be empty.

I get a kick out of this thread, cause I've dealt with assholes like this over the years. My advice for the poster....next time have a few chimichongas and nice bean burrito before the show and let that smell rip through the section. Just for hahas, ask the complainer to pull your finger a few times.

capybaralet

sounds to me like something that shouldn't have been an issue. Either of you could have avoided making a deal about it. If I was the guy in the Stones shirt, I wouldn't have said anything, and if I was you, I would have just said OK and put it away. Honestly, everyone is happier when nobody makes a big fucking deal over something little like this (especially at a concert, where you don't want to be all pissed and distracted.)

I feel sorry for you guys......this kind of thing is usually never an issue in beautiful BC!!!

turnedmyworldtoblack

All this allergy stuff and can't stand the smell shit is bullshit. You're just the people with the sticks up your asses when it comes to stuff like this. You all have the same stupid reasons for hating it and say the same reasons why no one should smoke at a concert. This guy was not smelling the smoke at all like I said or having "allergic reactions" as a few of you hypocondriacts (sp?) claim... he just saw me hit it and just wanted to bust balls. My guess is honestly he was a police officer, and just thinks I'm some punk. Some things really annoy me at concerts but I don't walk up to somebody else, threaten them, and actually go get security!!! you fuckin snitch!! I wish I was in BC and Holland where I would be welcomed as a friend for it and not a criminal...pathetic pathetic norms.

I have been to six Pearl Jam concerts and I am anaphalactic to peanuts. They serve peanuts and beer at EVERY pearl jam concert I have been to. I am like a hawk for spotting people eating them. I watched my morning jacket at Toronto N2 and came back to my seat for Pearl Jam only to see there had been an entire bag of peanuts shelled onto the floor. I can't even come in contact with the fucking things or smell them without fear of dying. Did I make someone come and clean it all up? No. Did I get security? No. It's a fucking rock concert guys....U have to expect when you're in the midst of 10 000 retarded fans, there are going to be some things you don't like, or that even might kill you.

Point is, there is no such thing as being anaphalactic to pot. It doesn't exist. Allergies are a nuisance, and nothing else. Anaphalaxis is a totally different story; I've almost died twice from it, and I don't expect everyone in the arena to not eat them whilst I'm there.

Let me put the reverse spin on this. If you can't enjoy a show, especially a fucking Pearl Jam show, without weed, you are pitiful. Very few things make me more sick than people who go to shows and get trashed and blazed. If you can't get into the music without that, wow, time to look in the mirror. Have you ever thought about how the smoke might affect other people? It makes me sick. Seriously. I feel like I have to yack. My girlfriend is so allergic to the smoke that it interferes with her ability to breath. Marijuana is a narcotic, and it is bad for you. If you want to smoke it in the comfort of your own home, feel free. Just don't smoke the shit around me.

Dont go to concerts. Maybe you should go and see Ashley Simpson or some other wholesome activity. Its a concert you dick. If someone got security on me they would have more to worry about than smoke.

i can't agree more with the guy who said he doesn't understand why you would do this. do people not realize how rude smoking this stuff is? my gosh. i dont want to smell it or any smoke. i'm tired of going to places that are supposed to be smoke free and then everyone is lighting up (here's looking at you cleveland).

why can't you go and enjoy the show?? what is the freaking point of getting high or trashed? i just don't understand. i mean, in cincy i saw a bunch of folks walking out of the 10c section (to leave) BEFORE PEARL JAM PLAYED, obviously due to being trashed. one dude in particular had spilled a beer all over his shirt and could barely walk.

people suck...and i give a high five to the person who turned you in. they asked first, why not stop?...or just not do it at all?

Yea give that guy a high five. He really got me good. He encouraged me to go get another drink while my friend told security that someone was setting us up. So I came out of the situation with another bacardi and coke. You and your squad of nark's are awesome at what you do. You are defenders of freedom for all pot haters everywhere. You guys are really making a difference at concerts for the good of the people. Cheers to you guys!! (blatent sarcasm in this whole post)

Sure it does...we can all have a good time people just need to lighten up and be more tolerant.. Without playing the its illegal card whats the big deal. A little smoke... you get worse walking behind a bus and huffing its exhaust. Its not like I'm smoking for 2 plus hours straight. 3 or 4 times the whole night I may duck down for a few minutes and blow some smoke. I'll blow it up in the air and I'll be as fast as I can about it but you're still going to smell it. I mean why can't some of you just be cool about it? You're so concerned about your health yet you're exposing your ears to extremely loud music and as far as it being illegal, if I get busted its not your problem.

pearljam0000

oh i'll toke

Nevermind

Your problems are that you believe everything the government tell you. The reason its illegal is because its easy to grow and distribute. So that makes the government mad because they cant make money off of it. Its not even close to be as harmful to you as cigarettes or alcohol. even your beloved bible is all for it. No one cant stand the smell. Your heads are so far up your ass you cant see the truth. Have a nice fucking day.
