After an intensive series of presentations and question-and-answer sessions, the participants separated into five breakout groups. Each group discussed both risk factors and the effects on businesses and communities. They then identified community assets for prevention and treatment, and some best practices from current efforts from around the state and country. The results of each topic have been grouped into six major categories.

This paper is a compilation of the most recent research on MDMA (Ecstasy), an explanation of other Club Drug use, and a description of the RAVE scene in Arizona. The paper highlights federal, state, and local legislation currently being employed to combat the rapid growth in the use of these drugs. The research was limited by the availability of current information on MDMA and Club Drug use in Arizona. Generally, statistics illustrating drug use in Arizona have not recorded MDMA and Club Drug use as a separate category. This has led to an incomplete and inaccurate assessment of MDMA and Club Drug use in the state. During this research several issues became dominant. Information about the effects of MDMA and Club Drugs is conflicting and public education will need to be increased and improved in Arizona, especially utilizing the Internet. Arizona will need to continue to update the current techniques used in tracking MDMA and Club Drug use and new laws may be required to assist in combating the escalating use of MDMA and Club Drugs in Arizona.
