Why are drugs used at raves? Being sober at a rave(party) is awesome to me. It's about P.L.U.R., not drugs. I've done all there is to do as far as drugs go, But now sober(except BUD),and I LOVE to party CLEAN. Because that's what raving is all about to me. That's what it should be about for everyone in the undergroud family, because we're all family!!!!! RIGHT?!!!

I just want to say that it takes some people a long time to get over the drug phase while raving. I still won't go to a rave and it's been almost three years since I have done any E or Acid. I would really like to go to a rave, but I am afraid that I will be tempted to do drugs again. And I don't want to mess up my life with drugs again. :)(:

I have been sober for over a year now and even when I did do drugs I NEVER needed to get f-ed up to go to a party. I started going to parties long before I ever tried xtc. I actually prefer to go to a rave sober.

its all about the music and vibe!!! i've been a fry-baby and sat on the edge of e-tardation!!! i don't see any thing wrong with experimentation, everone on this planet should try it all at least once (psyadelics for shure!!) now back to the bigg picture. people make there oun desions in life (enhansment being the key thought) the rave is a safe place for these kids to experiment! where there are people that have been down that road, so my friend above don't be afraid any more help be a mentor to the kids bhiend you!!! keep the vibe alive we'll alwas be kids at heart!!! :)

I am afraid im always fooked and cant go a weekend without being mongo'ed. oh dear oh dear!

I feel the same way its about the music, when did ever become about the drugs?i dont know .i had a hard time for two years of over dosing and watching people overdose or die.so sad .i found GOD thankfully,i still love the music .looking for sobercrowd to kickit at parties with.

I have been sober now for over two years (thats totally sober...none of that "pot and alcohole are not drugs" bullshit)I love jungle, i love good hard house, i love dancing-battling-and the whole scene...yet, there are some major misconceptions when it comes to the philosophy and psychology of any underground subculture that involves drug use. Its a fucked up part of our society- addiction is a real thing; it seeks, kills, and destroys. The most twisted part is that when we are in it we think we are winning some how; We think that by eating some pill or tab, and feeling that hightened sense of consciousness,we are reaching enlightenment. But in accuality we are merely catching a fabricated glimps of what is realy a spiritual experience. And because it is fabricate, fake, false, it leaves us hungry on the flipped side of the looking glass; eager to grasp what is on the other side. So, we dig harder and deeper, using more and harder drugs...untill finally it hits us, possibly in the form of some bad trip or hospital visit. The reality strikes that the whole time we were being played; we, trying so hard to just be unique, against the grain; We the individual, the teenager finding himself... are a number; a statistic, a mark on some rich guys black board. Another hippie, another gangster, another fucking raver. Drugs turned our scene into a cess-pool of statistics.

Be a real fucking headstrong junglist, party kid, whatever...Be you...dance...pray...sing...paint...love!

I agree to no end~! It's sad when people use drugs to get the high the music should bring. =;.;=

Don't be naive. Without the drugs, the scene would have never happened. It's as much about drugs as it is about the music. This is from a dj who has been playing since 94'.

i just started going to raves and every single person there is either rolling or about to roll the only people i have ever seen at a rave that isnt on drugs is Security, or undercovers.

its not ABOUT the drugs. but the drugs give u the energy and stamina that u simply cant maintain when straight, to keep on keepin on. Dont be naive people. Please dont tell me you could stomp to happy hardcore without missing a beat for hours on end without something to keep you energised? Yeh Right. Jesska
