Podium Politics

Are you aware of the dangers of taking drugs? We asked clubbers at Space

Richard from Germany: "Yes. Ganga is ok but no hard drugs. You can have fun without drugs"
James from Australia: "I am aware, but the club scene wouldn't be as good without drugs"
Mandy from Leeds: "People aren't aware. I just panic that I might drop down dead one day. You don't hear enough horror stories, it's not publicised enough. But then I think you might as well die doing something you're enjoying"
Mandy from Kent: "I think so, but most people are taking them. Because they're so easy to get and people talk about them alot, people know more about it which means they drink lots of water. The water is too expensive in the clubs though"
Chris from Wakefield: "I am aware of the dangers and I don't do drugs. I drink and have a good time without them - you can have as good a time without drugs. Don't do it! Great music, clubs and beautiful girls - what more do you need?"
Caroline from Leeds: "I think most clubbers do know the dangers, but the benefits outweigh the risks. I prefer taking drugs to drinking - I prefer to have more energy, I feel numb when I drink"
Marshall from Dundee: "You have to take drugs to get in the mood, you have a better night with drugs. I know in years to come it will harm me, but you could walk out the door, get hit by a bus, and think 'I've never really lived my life'."
Kerry from Edinburgh: "Yes. Sometimes I think 'Never again' but then you go to a club the next night and you think 'Yes!'.You hear about the occasional person who dies or whatever but then you think of the thousands that haven't"
