How to convince my friends to go to a rave?

This summer, I went to my first rave, which was White Party. I took ecstasy for the first time as well and ever since, i'm in love with EDM and been wanting to go raving since. However, the rave I went to was in another country that I do not usually live in. So I'm back in Canada and literally all my friends are more into clubbing and house parties. When I suggest the idea of rave, they somewhat react negatively. One even said "nah that's some next level crackhead shit." lol, I just think he meant that there's too many drugs going on at that kind of scene.

Anyways, I don't want to go alone, just because I don't like the idea of going alone and I probably won't change my mind. I don't necessarily plan on doing ecstasy but I just like the music/light/atmosphere so much from that first time that it might give me a "mini-roll"

What can I say to convince him without really lying to them? Are raves fun for people who don't do E and don't listen to house music?
 
Make other friends...

The group I hung out with most of my life was into the whole bar scene... I found it boring and repetitive...

A few summers ago a group that I hung out with on and off let me know that one of their friends backed out of this epic trip they were going on. I agreed to go just to get a breath of fresh air. I literally had no expectations of having a great time. I've been to EDM shows here and there liked them but really didn't care for them. That weekend was like restarting my life. Opened my mind up to what a good time could be. I'm still close with my "og" group of friends, I rather hang out with these guys more than anything because there is literally never a dull moment. Now I'm trying to convince them to go to burning man, they say that's just too much for them lol.

I hear you completely...i just went to my first one back in feb and have been in love ever since. Now i have a group of friends that i rave with all the time. But it's really fun to get your close group of friends to go with you too. Just reassure them that you DON'T have to do drugs to go. It's just more fun if you do :) But once i convinced some of my friends to go to a pretty big fest, they LOVED it. They don't go all the time, but they def enjoy it every now and then. Words can't really describe the fun at a rave or music fest...you'll just have to take them.
 
I'm in that situation too. I have some friends that are introverted that would benefit greatly from the amazing experience of dropping at a rave. I tried to convince my buds to go to an NYE event here in CA but neither of them went and are instead hanging out at home in lame NYE fashion =(
