5-Year Trends in Use of Hallucinogens and Other Adjunct Drugs among UK Dance Drug Users

European Addiction Research December 18, 2006 Jim Mccambridge, Adam Winstock, Neil Hunt et al. 113 citations

From 1999 to 2003, a survey of people who use drugs in dance contexts found rising lifetime and current use of psilocybin, ketamine, GHB, and nitrates. Current psilocybin use increased sharply in 2002–2003, while ketamine use rose more gradually throughout the period. LSD use declined, mirroring trends in general population surveys. These increases among dance drug users may signal wider prevalence increases among young people, warranting careful study and development of effective interventions.
