brain.

your adrenaline levels and makes your mood much
happier from your serotonin levels
• These effects are similar to ecstasy which is also a

9. TRAGIC EVENT..
• During EDC Los Angeles in 2010, a 15 year old by
the name of Sasha Rodriguez died of drug
overdose.
• The rave scene quickly made many headlines from
people wanting to ban raves to riots in the streets of
LA.
• This event actually led to banning gloving from
raves.
11. WHY BAN SOMETHING SO SIMPLE AS
GLOVING?
• Gloving is shockingly considered one of the biggest
ways to promoting drug use.
• I ABSOLUTLEY disagree with that because from 2011
to 2013, gloving is now looked at as a new genre of
a type of dance.
• But sadly until this day, gloving is still banned in
many places.
