Resumo
Every weekend in the UK millions of young people attend nightclubs and many of them will use 'dance' drugs such as ecstasy. Drawing from ethnographic data generated from working as a club security guard and in-depth interview material with other security guards and a club manager, this article describes and analyses the use and supply of ecstasy within a large London nightclub. The analyses are centred on the normalized character of ecstasy within this club, the efforts of several security guards to control the supply of ecstasy and how this setting was home to a lively drug culture complete with a prosperous and somewhat protected drug economy.
