I didn't see anyone express concern over this idea, so I guess I'll take a turn. I think it's a very bad idea, when thought through. In a public venue, at this particular time, all we need is one tragedy connected to the OD, and someone in DC will pull the plug for all time. I say take it to the woods in a private place, if you really need to do this. I shudder just thinking what the hysterical news media could do with a thing like this. Sorry to rain on your picnic.
My 2 cents...
