    Club Drugs

    The term club drug refers to a wide variety of dangerous drugs. These drugs are often used by young adults at all-night dance parties, dance clubs, and bars. They include

    • Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), also known as Ecstasy XTC, X, E, Adam, Molly, Hug Beans, and Love Drug
    • Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB), also known as G, Liquid Ecstasy, and Soap
    Ketamine, also known as Special K, K, Vitamin K, and Jet
    • Rohypnol, also known as Roofies
    • Methamphetamine, also known as Speed, Ice, Chalk, Meth, Crystal, Crank, and Glass
    • Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD), also known as Acid, Blotter, and Dots

    Club drugs are also sometimes used as "date rape" drugs, to make someone unable to say no to or fight back against sexual assault. Club drugs can cause serious health problems and sometimes death. They are even more dangerous if you use them with alcohol. (NIH: National Institute on Drug Abuse)
