I saw these on dancesafe.org
I thought it was pretty stupid that people say things like these.
#10. "If you take your child to a rave, they could be
on psychiatric medication the rest of their life because
of the experience." - Dr. Michael Copass, Harborview
Medical Center, Seattle
#9. "Ravers often insert flashing red lights in their
belly buttons--held in place with a mild adhesive--and
pin blinking lights in the shape of hearts, stars, and
animals to their clothing to provide additional visual
stimulation to MDMA users." - National Drug
Intelligence Center (NDIC)
#8. "Some of the dances in the desert are no longer just
dances, they're like violent crack houses set to music."
- Michelle Leonhart, Special Agent, Los Angeles DEA.
#7. "Raves, under any name, are a lucrative business and
are frequently the sites of crimes such as
pharmaceutical diversion, rape, property damage, gang
violence, drug sales, robberies, assaults, and murder."
- Anonymous undercover police officer in Michigan
#6. "Ravers often wear bright accessories like
earrings made of either plastic beads or pill-shaped
sugar candies. MDMA users sometimes use these
accessories to disguise their drugs, stringing MDMA
tablets mixed with the candies." - NDIC
#5. "If you see a girl and a boy in the dark, chewing
pacifiers and waving colored wands, they're probably on
Ecstasy." - Johnson County Sheriff J.D. Richards
#4. "Ravers wear T-shirts, bikini tops, tank tops, tube
tops, and open-back halter tops to help keep cool. After
hours of dancing and often after using MDMA, many ravers
have removed most of their clothing." - NDIC
#3. "Several DJs and bands, unfamiliar to most people,
are internationally famous." - NDIC
#2. "They buy them. They have them on their hands. They
have halos. It's freaky looking. They're high on
drugs." - Undercover Agent in New Hampshire
and from the same undercover agent ...
#1. "You watch these kids walking around with glow
sticks all over their heads, with surgical masks on,
with glow sticks in their mouths, with pacifiers. You're
not talking just one. There are groups of kids walking
around like this. That's the norm. Who figured all this
out, I don't know. Where did it come from?"
