Crash, that has NEVER been an issue, and I wouldn't feel right if people thought that sort of thing has ever happened.  I believe once someone THOUGHT there were some adult baked goods laying around a particular campsite..... but they were regular baked goods.  :smt002

I hope that is correct. My request still stands.
It almost did happen but I won't say who...will let the person speak up if he wants to.

I'm not sure if you're referring to me, but I'd like to speak up about my experience. 

I heard about a particularly potent batch of brownies and we all had a chuckle about it's effects on a couple guys.  About a half an hour later my daughter walked up to an almost finished pan of pineapple upside down cake and looked like she wanted to eat it.  With the story of the brownies still fresh on my mind and in the dark not being able to see clearly what was in the tray she was reaching for, I rushed over to warn her about asking before taking food. 

Looking back, it was silly of me to believe anyone would leave a tray of those brownies out in the open.

That was the extent of my experience.  Maya, my daughter, and I spent most of our time in and around this "northeast" corner and if we had the time to go back to a GS event, I would not hesitate in letting my kids play there again. 
This whole brownie story is way over done.  I believe your talking about the ones I brought a couple of years ago.  I brought them to the southeast corner where the partying was going on and I advised the adults that I offered it too.  The tray was NEVER left unattended.  Those were weak compared to some cookies and peanut butter cups I have now that a friend made.  If I make more I will use his method and I will challenge anyone to eat a whole one. :smt003

I don't have kids, but I hang out with people that do and adults that don't partake and have kids too.  I never bring out stuff in front of their kids and sometimes even if the parent permits it.  Its just common sense to not even put yourself in a situation that could get you in trouble with the law. ex. Contributing to a minor.

I agree that it has received more mention that it deserves.  I don't fault you or anyone who partakes and shares with whatever.  My intent in re-sharing wasn't to point fingers or judge. 

Two things I hope is articulated by my post: 1) I'm responsible for my child.  2) Don't judge someone because they choose to hangout in a particular corner or a campground. 

"Don't yuck my yum"  If you don't like it, don't do it, but don't judge me if I like it.

I wasn't calling anyone out and I don't think that the request is unreasonable.  Don't leave consumables lying around that would appeal to children.  Please and thanks.
