SF, Exit, Vinyl are basicly your top venues for drug use... then Almost THE REST OF THE CLUBS in NY are based on DRINKing alchohal... Like, Float, Saci, Park, Gustavinos, B52 to name a small percentage of clubs that do NOT need crack heads or drugs curculating in there parties to attract poeple to go there parties.. THere are so many more places that are filled with drinkers then there are drug users... Therefore i dont see how drugged heads make more money for you promoters.. And do you honestly think clubs ACTUALY want drugs in there venues? NOT AT ALL.. WHy? Cuz that attracts too much attention from the police amongst other investigations, poeple overdosing etc... And why on earth do you think you get searched for? FOr weapons and drugs.. but why would they confiscate your drugs if they supposedly want drugs in the clubs? ....

that's right on the money, kial....

Guys, if you think drug users make up the majority of the clubs, you're WAYYYY off. That's only the big maybe FIVE clubs. Every other venue in the city is about alcohol. And don't even try to blame this on the cops. Drugs are illegal, and if you do them, you run the risk of facing the consequences. It is THAT simple.

Alex, clubs come and go...there is no one club that has been around forever...and mainly it's because of either a)excessive and blatant drug use or 2)illegal management practices (like tax fraud, etc). So to suggest the legalization of drugs within clubs is ridiculous.

Fact is, a lot of club owners are greedy and they allow certain things to be overlooked (ever heard of house dealers?) in order to attract customers and make more profit. But once you get too greedy (like David Marvisi and Richard Grant) and practically encourage drug use, THATS when you cross the line. So, if anything, management/owners should be blamed, NOT the cops.

As a counter-example, the only club I can think of that have existed for a WHILE is China Club....and that's is because the people that run it have their heads on their shoulders. You usually don't see crackheads in there and yet it's a fairly big club that has managed to hold on to its reputation throughout the years.
