Drugs for the taking at Castle Music Festival The organiser of Castle Music Festival has conceded there will inevitably be drugs at the event. THE organiser of an all-ages music festival to be staged in Victoria's west has conceded drugs will be part of the event. Maxwell Stuart, organiser of the Castle Music Festival in Linton, said while drug use wasn't being condoned, illicit substances would inevitably be taken at the three-day concert. "We totally don't condone it at all, but you've got to know that's what happens and that's why we account for it," Mr Stuart said. U-Nome Security head Naomi Oakley said she was shocked to receive a quote request from the organisers that included the admission: "In the interest of your company, it's inevitable that some people will bring and take drugs at this festival." "I've had my share of people passing out from amphetamines and other drugs, and that's not something I want to expose my staff to," Ms Oakley said. Ambulance Employees Australia Victorian president Steve McGhie said he was taken aback by admission. "It seems a bit crazy if they know what's happening and not preventing it, it's a recipe for disaster," Mr McGhie said. But Mr Stuart said the proper precautions would be put in place. "We have first aid and security on site, and ... checking for contraband, which includes weapons, drugs, glass and that kind of stuff," he said.
