club drug
Dance-floor chemical high
Club drug refers to recreational drugs associated with nightclubs, raves, and dance parties.
The category typically includes MDMA (ecstasy), ketamine, GHB, and methamphetamine—substances that enhance sensory experience, lower inhibitions, or sustain energy for long nights of dancing.
The emergency room saw a spike in club drug overdoses after the festival.
