yo dude can i get some coke?

i aint a dealer

come on i need some

i only have like a line

fine ill give you 50 bucks for it

fine, here's a dime

ha! i'm a cop! got you for .1g
 
Cocaine and amphetamine? Why would you want stimulants at a Phish concert?
 
lol they guy with 9,000gs of coke name is Oscar Manchuca. Why would you bring that much to a jam band concert anyways? all those people like ganja, shrooms, LSD and shit like that.
 
Dude people at phish shows do hard drugs.. I used to think they were all nice trippin pot smoking hippies.. then shit the first time I ever saw someone shoot smack was at a show back in the day.. I was surpirsed too.. "Hey man you got a candle? wha? Hey you got a spoon? lolwhat? I didn't get it till I seen them bootin up 5 min later..

That is a lot of yah-o tho..

Funny they busted almost all guys.. the smart ones had their innocent looking chica's carry their shit..
 
I like how the guy with the LSD/E's bond is way higher than the dude who had a shitload of weed AND resisted arrest.

Same with the other dude with lots of E/Ketamine/shit.
 
i think that the guy with that much coke, was prolly just making his usual drop-off or whatever, and the phish show made all the cops on high alert, and he just was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
 
There could have easily been 9 kilos of cocaine snorted during that Phish show. How many attended?
 
it was at the ashville civic center, which in comparison to other places is a pretty small venue, only holding around 8,000 people.

that would be like every person there snorting around a gram hahahahaha
 
Most users would be snorting, smoking, and injecting more than a gram that night...

Trey likes rock, I'm sure some fans do too.

Obviously mr ventura sucks better cop dick than mr lykowski

lol how the hell did the first guy get a smaller bail than the dude rockin WAY more drugs?? LSD scarier or something?
 
im finding it a bit hard to believe our buddy oscar had damn near 20 pounds of coke in his car because of the fish concert...
 
Uh, why? Phish shows are an impromptu drug distribution network. At every show are hundreds of big time drug dealers, many of whom probably would love a chance to turn a profit flipping some 8balls or z's.
 
These bonds don't make sense, particularly these three:

Guy #1 has 60 doses of cid and a couple E pills, girl #1 has 40 doses and an open container of alcohol. Why is the first guy's bond set $100,000 higher? Guy #2 only has 3 doses of cid and one pill with no charge of intent to distribute, but his bond is double what the girl's is. This girl must have killer tits.

ok, well think about it like this: do you really think a drug dealer that is big time enough to have 9 kilos of cocaine on him would really go and try and find customers at a concert?
"hey man, i dont know you, but are you looking to buy a couple of kilos?"
 
^^ It all just goes to show: Dose your shit AFTER YOU GET THROUGH THE GATES! Preloading on psychedelics at home when you still have access to your entire stash is bad..BAAD!!
