“…Sometimes, negative consequences would occur from use. Similar to that found in other research studies [84][85] , drug impurity was also a concern, and adverse reactions to unknown combinations were discussed among several respondents in the EDM scene. As Dublin-a 27 year-old Hispanic male-noted.…”

“…Algunas veces, se producían consecuencias negativas del uso. De forma similar a lo encontrado en otros estudios 84,85 , la impureza de la droga era motivo de preocupación, y varios entrevistados de la escena de la MEB hablaron de las reacciones adversas ante combinaciones desconocidas. Como Dublín -un hombre hispano de 27 años-indicó: "La gente se quedaba tocada a causa de las drogas porque no eran drogas, eran otra cosa".…”

Universidad de DelawareResearch on clubbing spans numerous fields and adopts diverse approaches to the populations in question. Yet, a somewhat homogenous narrative has emerged about clubbers and substance use, one that focuses on overconsumption, risky behavior, and considerable consequence. The purpose of our study is to unpack this narrative by exploring how the substance use patterns of clubbing populations differ by individual and scene-level factors. From this, we hope to increase an understanding of how social and cultural factors impact the relationship between clubbers and substance use. We draw on direct observation of 29 club events and interviews with 51 respondents from the hip hop (HH) and electronic dance music (EDM) scenes in Philadelphia to inform our research objective. Analyses revealed two broad criteria on which a substance use-based typology of clubbers can be offered: motivations for clubbing and level and type of scene involvement. From these two dimensions, we are able to distinguish among three types of clubbers: drug sub-cultural members, commercial clubbers, and music connoisseurs. Drug sub-cultural members reported early onset of drug use and a greater frequency of current drug use at largely underground EDM club events and outside them as well. Commercial clubbers had benign histories with drugs, but they reported attending mostly commercialized HH events to get drunk and court the opposite sex. Music connoisseurs reported minimal current drug and alcohol use at exclusively underground EDM and HH club events, following from, in some cases, extensive histories with drugs and alcohol. The differences between these three groups' substance use patterns, we contend, can be attributed to the interplay between numerous social and cultural factors not previously considered. RESUMEN ABSTRACTLa investigación sobre clubes nocturnos abarca numerosos campos y adopta diversos enfoques sobre las poblaciones examinadas. Sin embargo, sólo ha emergido una narrativa un tanto homogénea sobre clubbers y uso de sustancias, aquella que se centra en el abuso, los comportamientos de riesgo y sus considerables consecuencias. El objetivo de este estudio es desarmar esta narrativa explorando cómo los patrones de uso de sustancias de las poblaciones de clubbers difieren en función de factores individuales y de nivel de escena. De esta forma, esperamos incrementar la comprensión sobre la forma en que los factores culturales y sociales tienen un impacto en las relaciones entre clubbers y consumo de sustancias. Para ello recurrimos a clubbers y consumo de sustancias. Para ello recurrimos a clubbers la observación directa de eventos en 29 clubes y, para completar nuestros objetivos de investigación, realizamos entrevistas a 51 participantes de la escena hip hop (HH) y de música electrónica de baile (MEB) de Philadelphia. El análisis reveló dos criterios amplios para proporcionar una tipología basada en el consumo de drogas de los clubbers: motivaciones para el clubbing y nivel y tipo de participación en dicha esce...

“…Some researchers have collaborated with the harm reduction organization Dance Safe to explore the use of drug testing kits among recreational ecstasy users at music festivals (Tanner-Smith, 2006;Winston et al, 2001). Aside from drug testing kits, recreational "party drug" users tend to rely on peer-to-peer transmission or word of mouth as the primary means of generating knowledge related to drug use and the adoption of harm reduction strategies to mitigate risk (Tackett-Gibson, 2008;Jacinto et al, 2008).…”

“…The social settings of ATS consumption are important to consider as they may affect levels and patterns of alcohol and other drug use and associated harms (Boys et al, 1999;Jacinto, Duterte, Sales, & Murphy, 2008;Singer & Schensul, 2011). For example, in a qualitative study of 16-to 21-year-olds, Boys and colleagues (1999) found that participants commonly discussed needing to be in the right sort of environment when taking drugs.…”

“…Stimulant use is inextricably linked to young adults' social environmental settings (Van Havere et al, 2011), and the settings in which ATS are used may contribute to hazardous levels of alcohol consumption (Jacinto et al, 2008;Singer & Schensul, 2011). Licensed venues, particularly nightclubs, are characterized by both alcohol and other drug use (Calafat et al, 2008;Van Havere et al, 2011) and, consequently, may encourage simultaneous use.…”
