Drugs in Clubs
Not sure if I posted this before but here goes again, in case of a memory lapse. I've been dancing for five years with not too much exposure to the drugs scene, apart from marijuana being everywhere given that I just came from CA where it's legality made it relatively normalized. In the event that there are drugs in the club, such as cocaine being the popular one, would I be implicated if a club were to be raided for drugs and/or prostitution even if I were in no way involved? In retrospect, there may have been some coke use in some of the places that I've worked but never so blatantly out in the open as what I've seen in NYC. I've smelt in on customer's breaths. And today, I'm pretty sure I saw a staff member hand a bag to a table to do. The table was discrete about it but it was obvious to me since I was watching after I saw the staff member walk over to deliver. Maybe I'm just hallucinating...hopefully. Anyhow, does this sound like a bad situation? Or should I just not give it too much thought, since I'm not participating.

Re: Drugs in Clubs
You're in the coming out section, which's introductions, j/s.
As far as your post, I know recently there was a thread about a dancer using Coke to get vip rooms, (not exactly your sitch but maybe some insight) it was pretty long so maybe that'd help?
It's in Hustle Hut, "Girl Using Coke to Hustle VI P

Re: Drugs in Clubs
Honestly, I wouldn't worry so long as you personally are clean. Prostitution raids are a different story.

Protip- tape the slats on your locker door with masking tape. It prevents people from slipping anything into your locker to frame you up.

Re: Drugs in Clubs
Unfortunately drugs are present everywhere in strip clubs. It's annoying when you're a clean/non-drug-using dancer and you see obvious drug use going on. I understand your concerns about being lumped in with them should a raid ever go down because those kinds of people can bring down others with them. Keep a criminal lawyer's phone number on standby in case something does go down. I agree with SnuffleUffleGrass' suggestion too.

Some places actually check your bags upon arrival, so I'm hoping I'm safe in the case someone plants something bc of that.

Re: Drugs in Clubs
Usually the cops will nail the people they KNOW are dealing, quite often they have sent in undercover customers or even dancers. And sadly, it's true that drugs are rife in almost all clubs. I'm usually pretty non-judgmental, but the one thing I cannot abide are the wannabe pimp drug dealer types.

Re: Drugs in Clubs
^^yes- I have had customers in stripclubs I thought wére cops ask me to procure them drugs. Don't do that it's not worth it. I have never seen a raid for drugs in a club but have heard of people getting arrested at work or questioned. Have only ever seen by-law enforcement and iD age checks by cops for dancers. Getting randomly searched for drugs in a club by cops is something I've never seen. You'd have to be a known dealer or user.
