I spotted nothing to indicate your original post was tongue in cheek.
You seem strangely anti Glastonbury and I wonder why?
You seem very strongly anti drugs, again I wonder why?
Worst of all you have displayed some stunning ignorance about subjects which you wish to share your opinion of. You know little about Glastonbury or festival culture in general and your knowledge of recreational drug use is even more limited.
You are entitled to your opinion but basing it on fact and experience is more impressive than impression.

Tilly...no, not really. But not being a drug addict, (or user, as you will), does leave me out of the loop sometimes. I haven't got any pieces of coloured plastic in my ears, or unpleasant metal spikes in my nose, tongue, or lips either.
I went to the Isle of Wight Pop Festival in 1969, when I was 16. Bob Dylan was a great hero for me at that age. It was a wonderful weekend, even though the queues to get back to the mainland were dreadful. As for drugs,
I remember there being oodles of Mary Jane ( my new word ! )
but I don't recall any really dangerous stuff, like heroin or cocaine. But it was probably there I suppose. Myself and my friends never really mixed with drugs, preffering Newcastle Brown and cider !
I'm glad that people still like going to Pop Festivals but my musical tastes have changed over the years. My dearest wish would be to go Bayreuth but the chances for that grow ever slimmer as the years go by. Not sure I could even afford it if I did manage to get tickets, which are next to impossible to obtain.

eccles...I have no intention of even beginning to justify why I am anti-drugs.
But I just don't like sitting in a muddy field, listening to loud pop music that isn't to my taste...not sure what is wrong with that or why you feel the need to make me my justify my opinions ! If you want to listen to pop music and take drugs...go ahead...I really couldn't care less. although I hope you don't end up like this poor chap at Glasto.

If you goggle death rate at Glasto
you get this:
The total number of deaths at the Glastonbury festival is not known, but two people died in 2010 and one person died this year
Two men died at the 2010 Glastonbury Festival. A 46 year old collapsed in the dance tent and a man in his 70s was found unconscious. Almost 3,000 people were treated for ailments. One pregnant woman had her water break and she gave birth at a nearby Yeovil hospital. She returned to the festival with her son the next day
which I dont think is too bad....
[The local doctors run a medical tent]

Sqad...what I find difficult to understand is that those of us who don't want to listen to loud pop music, while sitting in a muddy field and taking drugs, should somehow feel that we are inadequate or lacking in some way and are missing out on one of life's essential experiences. I like opera and especially Wagner, but I don't look down my nose at people who don't share this love.
