DanceSafe in the Media
Since the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) launched its $54 million Anti-Club Drug Campaign in December 1999, DanceSafe has received hundreds of calls from reporters and producers seeking information about Ecstasy and other drugs, and harm reduction. With DanceSafe's help, the media have been able to offer the public a more balanced and factual portrait of the role of drugs in the rave and nightclub scene. Below you will find a long, but by no means comprehensive, list of major articles, television and radio programs in which DanceSafe has been featured. Where possible, we have linked to the actual story. Mon, 5 Feb 2001
