Our policy on drugs is based on three core messages:
- Prevention
- Drug dealers and abusers
- Welfare and treatment
Prevention
As organisers of No Man’s Land we do not condone the dealing in or use of illegal drugs on site. Drug enforcement laws are as applicable on site as any where else in the country.
All those attending the site will be asked to submit to a search and if found in possession will be refused entry. An amnesty bin will be available at the entrance.
Those found in possession on site will have their drugs confiscated by Security and ejected from the site, if found to have large amounts they will be detained and reported to the police. Experimenting with drugs can lead to adverse reactions. The crowds at a Festival can become very frightening and disorientating. If you do take drugs and you become ill, depressed or frightened please ask a steward to direct you to one of the first aid posts or a security guard on site where you can receive help.
Drug Dealers and Abusers
No Man’s Land security and stewards will take an active role monitoring for drug dealing and will work in full co-operation with the Constabulary. When there is a strong suspicion of drug dealing, No Man’s Land Security will inform and assist the Constabulary in every way possible. No Man’s Land will evict and hold these persons strongly suspected of drug dealing and channel these evictions via the police for searching prior to eviction.
Welfare and Treatment
No Man’s Land Security are trained in emergency first aid and are fully informed about the welfare facilities on site.
