Drugs as part of the psychedelic trance dance party

The psychedelic trance subculture maintains its own internal distinction between tolerated and non-tolerated drugs, which differs from mainstream legal and social classifications. Through interviews with experts, long-term participants, and newcomers, the subculture was found to have unwritten rules governing the behavior of intoxicated individuals. However, the subculture has only limited ability to enforce these standards, and members recognize this as a threat to the scene. Psychedelic trance is distinct from other dance scenes because hallucinogens dominate and inform its culture.
