The Oakville Beaver, W ednesd ay July 17, 2002 - A 7 Region issues warning against raves and bush parties The Halton Region Health Department is encouraging young people and parents to understand the potential dangers associated with summertime bush parties and raves. The Region has joined the Halton Regional Police and both area school boards to promote their opposition to these events, characterizing them as "potentially unsafe environments." The reasons for this stand include eas ier access to illegal drugs like ecstasy; criminal or gang activity; fire safety (at raves) and a higher risk of sexual assault. "The objective for the community partners is to raise awareness in the com munity about the dangers and risks asso ciated with youth attendance at raves, bush parties'and all-night dance events," said Halton Medical Officer of Health Dr. Bob Nosal. "By creating awareness we can inform people about the reality of these events and ultimately encourage youth to make informed decisions about attending them." Parents and guardians are being asked to assume the responsibility for sharing health and safety concerns with their teenagers, such as asking them the fol lowing questions: Where is the event? Who will you be with? How will you handle peer pressure? How will you get home? (Have a plan to communicate for a ride home.) What time will you be home? The Health Department also encour ages youths to stay with trusted friends and steer clear of drugs and alcohol. If youths do attend raves or all-night dance parties, the Health Department suggests they drink plenty of water (500 ml per hour of vigorous dancing) to pre vent dehydration; take frequent breaks from dancing to cool off; stay with trust ed friends at the event and on the way home; don't use alcohol or illicit drugs. According to the 2001 Ontario Student Drug Survey, which collected data from students in Grades 7-13, approximately 18 per cent of participants said they attended a rave in the previous 12 months. The average age of rave attendees was 15. About 41 per cent of survey participants reported having attended a bush part in the previous 12 months. The survey also revealed that 49 per cent of rave attendees and 51. per cent of those at bush parties reported using mar ijuana. A total of 19 per cent rave atten dees reported using ecstasy versus 14 per cent for ravers, 27 per cent of whom used hallucinogens as opposed to 23 per cent of bush party-goers. At the last Drive 4 Life conference in Oakville, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health program consultant Stephen Meredith said that although many youths who attend raves enjoy them for the music and dance alone with out being fueled by "club drugs," a host of illegal - and dangerous - substances are often available. These range from magic mushrooms and crystal meth to ecstasy and many ravers don't always know exactly what they're buying and what impurities may be involved. The predominant drug at raves is ecstasy, which dramatically increases heart rate and blood pressure, raises body temperature alarmingly and can lead to depression. Long-term use has been linked to permanent damage to the neuro-transmitters in the brain. PMA - which dealers falsely sell as ecstasy because it's cheaper to manufac ture - increases body temperature too but can also shut down internal organs.
