Club Drug/ Rave Drug Information

Club drugs are being used by young adults at all-night dance parties such as "raves" or "trances," dance clubs, and bars. Club drugs can cause serious health problems and, in some cases, even death. Used in combination with alcohol, these drugs can be even more dangerous. From the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).
