quoted for truth. after a couple years off the heavy drugs... looking back through the haze you realize this more and more...

i love how people promote themselves to monk status after a couple of caps, " I can FEEL your thoughts!!! " ..bullshit.

the only reason I actually like -some- raves more than clubs.... just more people on the floor dancing. and being able to check out a couple diff rooms with a couple diff styles of music.

not a hard and fast rule as some clubs have diff rooms.. and some clubs are wall to wall people.. but you get the idea. and alot of the clubs are top 40 hip hop.

For me its all about the music. Clubs play the same crap all the time. If you want drugs, doesnt matter if you're at a rave or a club you WILL be able to find them. Critics of the rave scene seem to buy into the way the media sensationalizes it as some kind of "crazy party where youth run rampant", come to think of it, I have seen much more shit go down in clubs then any rave I've been to.

hey, part of what I liked about raves when I was young was the acceptance. It's a rite of passage for some too.

There will be idiots (young and old) everywhere.

This is true.
People should have the liberty to wear whatever they want. I mean I don't encourage young girls dressing provocatively but it's more or less their decision and it's ultimately not my place/anyone else's place to dicate what they should or shouldn't wear.

I started raving late 14/early 15, I never felt the desire to completely whore it up but this obviously isn't the case for everyone.
However, I did dabble into the drugs - somehow always in moderation until I stopped raving and then I went through a bit of a problem phase but I really believe it comes down to the individual and their morals.

I'm sure the rave scene can encourage a certain kind of behaviour but I really am thankful for the lessons that I learned through it.
Putting an age restriction or a dress code isn't going to solve the problem - people always find a way around things, I think promoting education is the key here.
I remember there was that site, I can't recall the name but it had pictures from various parties and it was exceptionally informative.
It had loads of information on different substances and what not to mix and I think that really helped me and my friends back in the day.
Assuming these people have already made the decision to go ahead and experiment, I think there should be more resources promoting their safety and health.

In general I prefer raves. I honestly think they're more music based.
Even at the better clubs you can usually only get house.
I need Breaks, speed garage, electro ect ect.
