I was talking to a friend of mine who works in law enforcement the other day and he was telling me about this crazy new program that is taking hold in several major cities across the United States. In a nutshell, highly organized groups of undercover police officers are infiltrating some of the larger club events in cities like Seattle, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and Miami to catch drug dealers in the act.

At first, I thought it was a bunch of crap... and then he showed me a copy of a report he received from a six-man team that was present for the seventh (and final) Freak Night this past Halloween in Seattle. I was at that show. Several thousand people... hundreds of which were obviously out of their minds on various substances. I saw a few direct deals taking place in the crowd but didn't pay much attention to them. I'm not into drugs... I think it's a disgusting habit.

Anyway, to make a long story short the report stated that eleven arrests were made that night in connection to drugs being dealt at the show. I never once saw a cop make a move on anyone, though, and I don't think there was even an article in the paper about Freak Night in general. It amazes me that such a small team of officers could be so effective in bringing down eleven different people in the span of eight hours.

So, I guess just a word of caution if you happen to dabble in dealing at dance events. The police are starting to take an interest...

Agreed.

Honstly, I wish it was one of those things we could de-invent / get rid of on a global scale. I have lost numbers of good mates due to drugs (they start to hang around the wrong people, destroys their bank accounts and other things). It's terrible to see that people can't deal with their emotions or the fact that they need to have some sort of drug to have a good time, they are already hearing a gigantic set what else do you need. It's so disguistion and unheathly, saved a mates life once getting him off weed. Anyways, enough of my rank.

I'm glad this is being done.

A friend of mine, a DJ lost his job because the owner of the night club was involved in drugs, now he has a tough financial situation thanks to the "geniuses" dealing drugs. The only drug you need is the music itself. But if you do need a little mood adjuster, there is a simple solution for that: Don't use drugs - have a drink, get on the dance floor, dance your ass off, meet a girl/boy and have a blast while enjoying what the DJ is spinning for you. My "poison" of choice is single malt scotch combined with a company of a wonderful woman.

P.S. I lost a couple of people to drugs too, four of them committed suicide while on drugs, they were all in high school, way too young to die.

word the fuck up brotha, same shit here. Sorry to hear that about your mates. I totally agree with the only drug you need is music.

You know, I honestly wasn't sure how people would react to this thread. I applaud you guys for not being the stereotypical drug-addicted EDM fans. Makes me feel good.
