DRUGS NO PROBLEM ON LOCAL RAVE SCENE

I APPRECIATE your concern about what is happening in Toronto's rave scene,
with the three "rave-related" deaths there. As a member of the Calgary rave
scene, I share that concern. But a reactionary article such as the one
written Nov. 21 is no way to help. If anything, it has made things worse in
the scene.

I have seen more and more people drawn to raves due to the reputation the
Sun has given them. Mainly, they are coming for drugs, to get high, to look
for trouble. As well, many of the good party kids I know haven't been
around. They are the ones there for the music and to have fun with their
friends; looking for the good vibe, not for drugs. Trust me, if drugs were
truly a problem, we ourselves would do something about it.
