While some people do it to enhance/prolong their night a lot of people at the same time do it just to get fucked up (get the high and dance to the "beats"). I know many people that only go to guv just to get fucked up, if they go they do it. If you were to do the same poll at the guv, the numbers would be almost the same and it is worrying, well to me at least.

You seem surprised that drugs are a huge part of this scene. Is this something you just found out? The act of intoxicating one's self has been a part of human nature ever since the dawn of time. It is not something new. The rave/afterhours scene has always been like this. Drugs are a huge factor in the way parties are, and the way music is. Why? Most people who are at the party are on drugs, and the music is marketed to people who are on drugs while listening to it. If people weren't on drugs at the party, the party, nor the music would be the same.

This seriously looks like a serious drug problem to me, what i realized by reading the replies in this thread is that most people are in denial that they are hooked on some form of a drug, be it E, G, K or w/e. They act like it's all under control yet they've done it over 150times.

I think it's pretty hard to tell if someone has a drug problem based on their posts on a message board.

"Yeah, i do it only when i go out to get some energy or when it is a good party" I don't really care if people do drugs but what I'm trying to say is that it feels like more people are doing drugs to get high and only a small percentage for the actual music be it on drugs or not.

I also agree that it seems that there are too many people around who are in it for the drugs. It used to bother me too, but then I realized there's no reason to get worked up about it. Just party for your own reasons, and let people do what they want. Going on a crusade with the objective of making people party for the right reasons is futile.

Well said Highroller!!

Originally posted by Jeff Button Mmmmmmmm - I would have to disagree. From the people I know, I would say less than half do it to get fucked (in the head) and the other half do it to increase their energy/cardio in order to dance longer.

I call BS on that.
Drink enough red bull, take enough ephedrine and you can do that.

I'm pretty sure the scene wasn't devised and created around drug culture. Did it have a big impact, definitely. Do you need to have drugs to have a good time at these shows, if you do you have a problem.

It's really that simple. If you need drugs to have a good time with anything, that's a problem.

This is one of the few message boards around where people go to such great lengths to defend illicit drug use. Looking on it from a perspective of someone who doesn't condone or use drugs, it's quite comical.

I've never needed drugs to have a good time at a party and I won't need them in the future either. Party is still a great time. I think I would go as far to say that NOT doing drugs and seeing how ridiculous people USING drugs are is what makes the party even better.

They're introduced to it that way, and the only real way they can "listen" (if you can call it listening) to it is with the help of drugs.

How sad life must be when you cannot enjoy music for its sake without help of drugs.

House is not just a groove. House is a feeling. And when u feel it, you will understand... house music gets you up and makes you high...

Totally agreed. LoL at the last part...it's so true, and something I HAVE enjoyed now that I don't do drugs anymore. I don't look down on those people though, cause it used to be me too...which is what makes me laugh about it.

I'll say it again...Nathalie's thread needs to be stickied.

All of you are talking like EDM is the only drug influenced genre of music. News flash, the majority of music out there is drug influenced. Some of the most esteemed musiscians ever have also been some of the biggest crackheads ever. Music and drugs go hand in hand. Always will.
