One of the comments on the article had me searching for irony. "Do the cops think burners are using illicit substances?"

Probably? Because many are?

NOTE - this doesn't advocate for pre-emptive search and seizure in anyway, but trying to claim Burning Man is entirely "straight edge" with a straight face is ... implausible.

I couldn't find that comment, but it sounds a lot like this one:

> And do they really think lots burners use opiates?

Opiates vs "illicit substances". I don't think they were arguing that Burning Man is straight edge, just that there isn't a large opiate presence specifically (which wouldn't surprise me).

Good point, I stand corrected, on the specifics of opiates.
