Disco biscuit 1970s12/19/2023 ![]() ![]() "Club drugs" vary by country and region in some regions, even opiates such as heroin and morphine have been sold at clubs, though this practice is relatively uncommon. In the 1990s and 2000s, methamphetamine and MDMA are sold and used in many clubs. Quaaludes were so common at disco clubs that the drug was nicknamed "disco biscuits". In the 1970s disco scene, the club drugs of choice shifted to the stimulant cocaine and the depressant Quaaludes. Dancers at all-night parties and dance events have used some of these drugs for their stimulating properties since the 1960s Mod subculture in U.K., whose members took amphetamine to stay up all night. Club drug users take the drugs because the substances' effects enhance the experience of rave and electronic dance music clubs' pulsating lights, brightly colored projected images and massive sound systems with heavy basslines.Ĭlub drugs range from entactogens such as MDMA ("ecstasy"), 2C-B ("nexus") and inhalants (e.g., nitrous oxide and poppers) to stimulants (e.g., amphetamine and cocaine), depressants/sedatives ( Quaaludes, GHB, Rohypnol) and psychedelic and hallucinogenic drugs ( LSD and DMT). Club drugs are generally used by adolescents and young adults. Unlike many other categories, such as opiates and benzodiazepines, which are established according to pharmaceutical or chemical properties, club drugs are a "category of convenience", in which drugs are included due to the locations they are consumed and/or where the user goes while under the influence of the drugs.
