This is a disclaimer to say that psychedelic drugs do not universally work the same for everybody.

They can cause psychosis at high enough doses, and they can be life-changing in ways that are not always intended or desired.

Psychedelics should be used responsibly and with extreme caution.

Bright for the problem of LSD, I think there's been a great deal of misinformation by those who seem to see no harm in it.

But as a parent and a citizen, certainly now in this position, I am greatly concerned.

There is nothing smart.

There is nothing grown up or sophisticated in taking an LSD trip at all.

They're just being complete fools.

Anyone that would engage in this or indulge in this.

They are called raves, often longer parties held in dance clubs, bars or other venues, characterized by pulsating electronic or techno music.

Raves are fueled by a new constellation of drugs.

At the center of this constellation is MDMA, better known as Ecstasy, the Hug Drug, E, and a host of other street names.

Perhaps you, like us, may have been surprised to even hear of their existence of these parties.

Photojournalist Scott Curdy and reporter Myra Sanchich, though, have been investigating this underground network,

and they take us undercover to a raid.

That's the voice of a secret rave hotline. These are pictures of that ritual. Pictures you're not supposed to see. We took them with a hidden camera. If you haven't heard of raves before, it's because you're not supposed to. They're underground parties that have been going on in Milwaukee warehouses for the past year.

A rave is generally a party of people don't know it's happening until the night it's happening.

That secrecy is part of the appeal. But how do hundreds of kids find out where to go?

Well, it's sort of like a scavenger hunt. Someone has to give you the secret phone number. A recording tells you where to buy tickets, which cost $10 apiece. This night, two weeks ago, I bought them at a local clothing store. All right, I've got two tickets now to the Tempest, a techno-pagan ritual, but that's not good enough.
