Through public records requests, Mr. Graham has discovered patterns where people traveling to the Shambala Music Festival have been targeted for inspection by the local border patrol and county sheriff's deputies. Often times the police are looking for drugs such as MDMA, Ketamine, Psilocybin, etc, but Mr. Graham has defended case where people traveling to or from Shambala have been alleged to have possessed cocaine or heroin. Travelers are often surprised as to how seriously the local officials take such matters. The position of the local prosecuting attorney is often that he would seek a felony conviction even for a small amount of such drugs.
