Abstract		The purpose of the qualitative research study was to establish contacts with young users of the so-called dance drugs and to try to understand and describe their "social world" and their understanding of themselves and their use of illicit drugs. A group of researchers, the majority of whom was more or less of the same age as some of the respondents, and a few of them had similar experiences with drugs, established contacts with 115 users and conducted extensive in-depth interviews with 35 of them. On the basis of the data collected, a typology of users of dancing drugs was elaborated, a case study of one user was made and responses to several specific research questions were formulated. In the explanation of dance drug use, research findings give priority to the theory of recreational or normalised use.
