The society has an interest in both that people are healthy and that people can enjoy the effects of drugs, and so measures must be taken into account with regard to the way we see it here - taking drugs in a dark and Drug-using environment seems to be more preferable. In a nightclub, it is not allowed to consume drugs openly, so users seek out other places to hide. Clubs are not entirely unrelated to this situation - they are, in fact, somewhat adapted to it.
