RAVES ARE SAFE

I am really getting tired of the reports on the rave scene.

The two people who died from a "lethal batch" of ecstacy recently probably
overdosed -- meaning they took too much.

Ecstacy doesn't kill people, stupidity does.

Anyone who mixes drugs or takes well over one capsule or tablet puts their
life in jeopardy.

More often than not it seems these points are buried, and these stories
give the rave scene a bad reputation.

In reality, raves are safe and enjoyable gatherings for those who know
where to draw the line -- whether they choose to take drugs or not.
