Group tries to alter rave scene's image
ORLANDO, Fla. — After two of David Curiel's rave-scene friends died of drug overdoses, he realized something needed to change.
The fans of electronic dance music, usually teenagers or those in their early 20s, have been blamed for drug overdoses, sex crimes, vandalism and excessive noise in the city. Club drugs, such as Ecstasy, GHB and crystal meth, were responsible for 230 deaths statewide between 1996 and 1999, according to the Florida Office of Drug Control.
Drug deaths are a prime concern for The Future Tribe Project. It is affiliated with DanceSafe, an Oakland, Calif.-based group that began testing drugs in clubs several years ago to stop deaths related to the consumption of fake or impure drugs.
The public relations campaign can't come soon enough. Orlando's rave scene has become public enemy No.1 for the community's politicians, law enforcement officers and religious leaders.
The most recent attack against the rave scene comes from the Orange County Commission. It is expected to vote in several weeks on an ordinance that would tightly regulate after-hour venues that don't serve alcohol but attract segments of the rave scene. The so-called rave clubs would have to be licensed every year, subject to inspection at any time, and required to have off-duty police officers and paramedics on the premises.
The Associated Press
"Everything they've done to shut us down has done nothing to stop the drug deaths," he said.
Future Tribe member, Greg Shultea, 22 said legislating the problem away would not work.
They've also tried to counter the socially irresponsible image of ravers by volunteering at a nursing home, an Adopt-a-Highway program, and helping build homes for Habitat for Humanity.
"We're just trying to save lives," said Curiel, who wears a nose ring, earrings in each ear and a stud under his lip. "I don't want to see any more of my friends die."
So two years ago, the 30-year-old industrial designer formed The Future Tribe Project, a group of about 20 rave regulars who try to educate fellow ravers about drugs and safe sex in a non-judgmental manner. They spread the word when bad drugs are circulating and pass out condoms at raves.
