Club drugs present a range of risks similar to the range of psychoactive effects resulting from the use of the substances in this classification. These drugs remain in wide use amongst those in rave and club subcultures. This paper explores a range of risk management practices used by youth who utilize club drugs within rave and club subcultures. Through the use of ethnographic methods during a two-year period of fieldwork, the author collected data on club drug use and risk taking among "Bridge and Tunnel" youth. The resulting paper provides a descriptive typology of a series of risk management practices and explores how these practices are strategically deployed in an effort to maximize enjoyment and minimize danger.
