More than one hundred visitors who have participated at the Sydney Big Day Out music festival, which takes place annually in Australia, were caught by police due to an excessive drug use, said AAP. Police representatives have announced that out of 258 suspects, 107 had controlled substances with them. Most of these people possessed ‘traditional music drug’ marijuana, and it looks quite the same practically on every major festival of this kind. The last year’s Big Day Out was noted with eighty six drug related arrests, and of course weed stood on the first place. Dutch experience in handling of such things is definitely not working with almost every authority in the world, even though their experience is probably the most successful. Heavy drug abusers should be monitored and given all kinds of necessary help, marijuana smokers must be controlled like alcohol drinkers. This year’s Big Day Out sold fifty five thousand tickets, and in order to limit drugs related crimes, the New South Wales police sent numerous undercover agents. Security matters a lot, especially on such events, but when following marijuana they often miss heavy drugs, and they’re the top priority.
Traditionally, Big Day Out goes on by the end of January, and it is considered to be one of the biggest music events in Australia/New Zealand. 2009’s festival includes Neil Young, Arctic Monkeys, The Prodigy, TV On The Radio, Serge Tankian, Hot Chip, My Morning Jacket, and many others.
