Pills
Powders
IV drugs
Marijuana
Be honest.
All of the above?
Of course, girls can't smoke pot in the club, but they show up stoned, which makes them lazy. Fine, more business for me!
I know a girl got fired from my club for shooting up in the toilet once, but I've never seen it and never want to.....

These aren't problem IN the club I work at as they are pretty darn strict about it and will do random searches of lockers every so often (they don't touch anything, we show them everything in our locker).
If anything, I do know of one dancer that will turn up to work stoned.. not all the time but she has done it quite a few times.
As for anything else, not that obvious.
I knew at a previous club I worked at that there was definately some druggies... from pot to pills to powder.

I have worked at 1) A club where girls smoked weed in the bathroom and 2) a club where girls smoked in the dressing room. I did both once. I did not enjoy it, as I was too serene and calm to hustle.
Girls did coke in the bathroom stalls. I never saw anyone use IV drugs, and I don't really know about pills. I do know that drug use was rampant.

I told one girl to not to mess with drugs .. Hopefully she took my advise.
Coke is very popular in Houston because there are so many private areas in so many clubs...among customers, dancers, management, etc....
Its pretty scary what I've seen but I will not comment further...

I've also noticed that stackers, yellow jackets, and ANYTHING withephedrine is becominga major issue. What the hell is going to happen when they take it off ofthe shelf in April? God help us. That, and I wonder how the hell shit like Red Bull is legal. It's like liquid speed. Do you know how many girls I've seen OD on that crap?

Pills, Powders, and pot are all somewhat popular in my club. It is all done in the dressing room, which is distracting, to say the least.![]()
they are all popular in my club... well except iv drugs...
but i think you pretty much get that anywhere...
that i know of... ecstasy and coke are the two biggies...
i just smoke pot myself... nothing else for me...
but i can't at work... i either get too laid back to work... or get all paranoid on stage about people looking at me... LOL... so it doesn't work out for me...

i'm with katrine - in phoenix the coke is huge. if you're an "it" girl in with management, and having a bad night, the g.m. will pull you into the office and offer you a little something to make your night go better.....
pot before/between/after shifts, never seen it actually smoked AT work.
coke everywhere
x not as widespread but def. prevalent.
never seen i.v. drugs done at work.

no one really does drugs at my club at work. they used to smoke pot in the dressing room but they put a stop to that. i'm not saying it never happens but if it does no one knows about it. coke at one time was pretty wide speard but all those girls are gone now

I asked directions from a genie in a bottle of jim beam and she lied to me.

I see a lot of ecstacy. I don't think the drug users make as much money unless their regulars like that. They all seem really aloof at times and sometimes I can tell the men are like "what the hell is wrong with you?"
Those who bring sunshine into lives of others, cannot keep it from themselves.





I've seen all of the above and worse in clubs. My current club girls will sneak out to smoke weed (which isn't allowed) but that's it.

They just fired a girl for smoking pot in the bathroom today! We have one day girl who is on harder drugs but they haven't been able to catch her yet....

Smoking pot on the job is just plain retarded...other drugs, well, they help some girls with their bravery/confidence....
In my experience, doing drugs at work just make you stinky and not able to think straight.....if you need "something", a couple of scotchs will go the trick better...
After all, what other career encourages their employees to be wasted on the job, its counter productive and is a HUGE factor in the entire extras controversy........

Our other "dancer" (if you can classify her as that as she is really really bad) has approached customers asking if they sell drugs... all the classic signs of drug abuse are there with her:
Eratic behavior (flying off the handle)
Paranoia
Poor Hygeine
Excessive Sweat
and
Theft.. things from the dressing room get stolen.. and the stupidest stuff too! Things like hairspray, lipstick(that has been used) etc.. only to be turned up again later by her and when you approach her about it, she flys off and gets about two inches from your face and threatens to beat your face in, etc.... Many girls have complained, but they have yet to catch her... I am on her "Hit" list because I approached her after she bad mouthed me at the club and advised her that she was making herself look bad by doing so, I also informed management that she is an embarrassment to the club, and I refuse to work another day with her.. so I schedule my "mandatory" day shift on a day where she doesn't work.
I used to work in Drug Testing and I took several classes and internships while attending school in relationship to drug usage and addiction.. this was after I suffered from an addiction myself. I find it very sad that some girls do not see an issue with using among other girls who are just trying to make a living, its bad business not just for the girl who is using, but for the girls who have to work with them and the club itself. So much help is available to help those with addictions, but then again, in order to get help, one must admit a problem.

I have just seen dancers stoned at my club. I will use a half of viccodin if my knees are hurting fairly bad. This is for pain only, since I am pretty much a stage dancer.
I think our female manager may provide a bit of coke to girls who are having bad nights, but I haven't indulged in years and don't plan too.
For me: maybe a wine cooler or two, lots of water in the dressing room and half to a whole viccodin if I'm having extreme pain.
I would say chronic is prevelent.
Cheers,

At every club I've ever worked at and been around for at least three or four days, I've seen or been offered drugs. Its like this at many places. Some its more out in the open like girls actually doing drugs in the dressing room, or more commonly girls have drugs in their car or they do them at home before work. I have noticed once girls see your face more than once or twice and figure that they have a feel for your personality as to whether you are the type of person who will narc or the type of person who will simply say no thanks, you will see a club differently.
Whoever it was who said they had a girl at their club who used to inject into her foot, I worked with a girl like that two years ago in Alabama. She shot up in her feet and around her ankles so she wouldn't have marks and she danced in boots. She was on heroin though and looked like it. There is also this girl at work who, if she wasn't so fucked up, would be entertaining. She dances around like britney and christina onstage and off and just in general cannot stop moving. We suspect she does crack because of her erratic behavior, and one nite just a few weeks ago she jumped into a chair in the dressing room completely naked with only shoes and screamed so loud that management came rushing into the dressing room and she was standing there crying and shaking and screaming about the crocodiles on the floor. She was terrified and when one of the managers walked across the floor to pick her up and carry her in the office she was yelling to him not to die for her and that they would get him too. It's funny now, but that night we were all like we hope somebody comes and gets her fast so she won't OD or someting inside the club. She never does or really says very much to anyone else, but she is scary to be around sometimes.
"Come what may although I often say realities come from dreams, but approach all lies with open eyes because NOthing in this world is EVER ALL it seems."





A lot of girls smoke pot right in the dressing room! Management has to know-I've been able to smell weed from the bar sometimes-but they don't really do anything about it. I enjoy aonce in a great while (every 2-3 months or so) but I never do it at work. I wouldn't even want to do it at work; smoking pot makes me sleepy, and I zone out and don't really want to talk to anybody.
A couple girls do coke at work, but they are more discreet about it. They go to the bathroom to do a line when no one else is in there.
I know one girl for sure does heroin. She has track marks on her arms that she doesn't even bother to hide or cover up. However, I've never seen her shoot up at work. If she does, she's very sneaky about it.


There used to be a problem with a few select girls at my club, but they all got fired for having a problem.
Now we don't have any issues with drugs, which is nice. I figure that whatever you do on your own time is cool, but if you're constantly f*cked up at work, that makes not only you look bad, but the club as well.
Pretty much all the girls there now are grateful there isn't a problem anymore.

I have a really sad story about drugs in my club. My manager was struggling to fine another day DJ when his last one had to quit due to medical reasons. I happened to have a friend of mine that I had previously worked with in a DJ capacity, so I called him up and basically got him a job. And, have to have a lil background to completely understand things: my hubby had been in a bad bike accident that had him on oxy-codon and some steel in his leg. So, DJ's wife has a SPRAINED ankle, and is asking my hubby for pills. He offered her some Vioxx, which is simply an anti-inflammatory and not addicitive. She didn't want that, and instead told HER hubby to buy some beans off of this other dancer. He did, and apparently the manager had known for 2 days before he fired both of them. The fucked up part about it is that the dancer in question still thinks I had something to do with her getting fired, and kept telling some of the girls that. *sigh* ah well.
Age is only important when it comes to wine and whiskey!





At the last club I worked at (Centerfolds in SF), alot of girls liked to smoke weed during the day shifts but that was about it. The club before that, pills, powders and weed were a big problem. It all (esp. powders) was literally shoved in your face. Blah!![]()

Should be an all of the above option...I have worked in a lot of clubs and most or all of them there were meth heads, coke heads, crack heads ,smack heads ,pot head and pill heads...
I think most all strip joints have there fair share of junkie drug addicts, even the really "upscale".
