If their best friend died of smack when they were only 14 they might think differently...

There are lots of old schoolers on E as well... Some people can't live without some kind of pill... > Is it the way the population became aware of the > music? I dunno about drugs' effect on detroit tech or anything but in the UK between '88 and '92 there was apparently a drop in various forms of hooliganism which is accredited to E. There was also a time when a rave record over here would sell simply because it had the word "ecstasy" in it or implyed it's usage... So it does happen... However, I've never really taken drugs... I've never done E or any tablets for that matter and I haven't SMOKED weed, only inhaled someone else's fumes:). I know lots of people who do and lots who don't take stuff regularly and if you see what kind of people make up these two groups, the people who aren't always taking stuff are nicer and happier. I dunno whether it's right to think that you have to take drugs to be involved in a certain scene. I liked Electro when I was 6 years old and I knew nothing of drugs... You also have to consider that not all people that take drugs are junkies. Some people just take stuff occasionally and it doesn't make them bad people, more often than not it doesn't have anything to do with music scene. It's the people you mix with and how much you care about the potential dangers. You don't need drugs to enjoy music... l8r, Nick(Dj Pacific:) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
