Résumé : | For more than 10 years now, the dance culture all over the world has involved the consumption of large amounts of hallucinogenic drugs such as MDMA (ecstasy). From a recent survey of a popular magazine in the UK, it becomes clear that the use of MDMA is standard among persons who visit dance parties (clubbers). Eighty-five percent of these respondents used MDMA in the last month, with an average of 3.9 pills a month. Furthermore, three-quarters of the respondents always take, or nearly always, MDMA (75-100% of the time), and the average frequency of 'clubbing' is 4.1 times a month. Although these numbers cannot be extrapolated towards the rest of Europe, there is little reason to assume that these numbers are very different in other Western countries. [Extract] |
