Fader.com is a political site. It does not take sides, endorse candidates or express an opinion on any issue. However, we do encourage those that participate with this site to do so. Fader.com is about information and communication.

We are not afraid to
entrust the American people with unpleasant facts,
foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation
that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open
market is a nation that is afraid of its people. John F. Kennedy

Club Drugs: Club drugs are being used by young adults at all-night dance parties such as "raves" or "trances," dance clubs, and bars. MDMA (Ecstasy), GHB, Rohypnol, ketamine, methamphetamine, and LSD are some of the club or party drugs gaining popularity. NIDA-supported research has shown that use of club drugs can cause serious health problems and, in some cases, even death. Used in combination with alcohol, these drugs can be even more dangerous.

CSDP advocates the regulation and control of marijuana in a manner similar to alcohol and subject to local option.
