ClubDrugs.org - Important information and resources on Club Drugs.
Club drugs are being used by young adults at all-night dance parties such as "raves" or "trances," dance clubs, and bars. MDMA (Ecstasy), GHB, Rohypnol, ketamine, methamphetamine, and LSD are some of the club or party drugs. NIDA-supported research has shown that use of club drugs can cause serious health problems. Used in combination with alcohol, these drugs can be even more dangerous.

No club drug is benign.
