Raves are late-night dance parties that are held in dance clubs or at temporary venues such as warehouses, open fields, parks or empty buildings. Some simply take place in suburbia in the homes of youth whose parents are out of town. The rave trend started in Europe in the eighties and became prevalent in most metropolitan areas of the US by the early nineties. Raves are often advertised to attendees as alcohol-free events to detract attention and curiosity from law enforcement and to appease parents. Thumping electronic music and stimulating visual effects usually are components of a rave. Party attendees or “ravers” take club drugs such as MDMA (ecstasy), GHB, ketamine, Rohypnol, LSD and nitrous oxide to enhance their overall experience. Rave promoters advertise famous DJs and PLUR, the ravers’ mantra, which stands for peace, love, unity and respect. Contrary to this mantra, these overly crowded, unsupervised dance parties have often ended in the accidental death of an experimental teen who was merely going with the crowd. Drug dealers will sell ecstasy tablets to young and naive ravers, wait for the drugs to take effect and then take back the remaining drugs along with whatever money the victim has on them. Whether a rave takes place at a friend’s home, an abandoned warehouse or a nightclub with security, overdose, rape, robbery and death are all potential outcomes. Join these amazing kids who have taken the initiative to speak up about club drugs and raves to help …

GHB is classified as a sedative-hypnotic and/or a central nervous system depressant. It produces euphoria, intoxication and hallucinations with alcohol like effects.

It will also cover the use, abuse, addiction and the pharmacological effects of the drug and what law enforcement officers need to know to recognize the indicators that a suspect is high on GHB. The program will also include a segment on Rave and Club Drugs — particularly Ecstasy — how to recognize the indicators and hear one mother’s story of how an experiment with Ecstasy cost her high school son his life. Program Panelists: Scott Albrecht; DEA Special Agent, Tampa, FL Office; Trinka Porrata; Retired Los Angeles Police Department Narcotics Detective; Target Audience: Primary target audiences for this program will include law enforcement officials, drug prevention specialists, Drug-Free Communities Act grantees, Safe and Drug-Free Schools coordinators, educators, administrators, counselors, treatment providers, drug court members, policy makers, business leaders, coalition volunteers, drug demand reduction coordinators …
