crazy....and I almost went down to NYC on a whim this weekend for the event.

that's what happens when it's an all ages event, as i said on fb nowadays the raver
kids go to the event not knowing who is djing so they have an excuse to do drugs

20 and 23 aren't exactly 'kids'

But please people, be reasonable.

it was actually 18 and up
dont even matter really the people who died were in their 20's

this is just another blow to big festivals in north america and how crappy they are compared to other parts of the world
between the dj's,yoloness,drugs etc etc
real shame people dont know when to stop

You think the kiddies going to raves in the late 90s knew the DJs?

Sorry that is nostalgia talking.

"Back in the day, it wasn't about getting fucked up - it was about going out for the music! all about the music, and oh yeah - the drugs were pretty great also! remember when molly used to actually be pure molly? *sigh*"

RIP

Not saying a site called "betherave" is a reputable news source, but still seems logical, 6 at once?!

I have to agree...

We went last year and security was some of the tightest I have ever seen.

Other than a few drinks, we were completely sober all weekend and had a great overall experience.

The people we saw during our experience were for the most part just having fun...some looked extremely young however and others were simply out of control. Keep in mind that a lot of these guys and girls are doing all three days of EZOO AND the after parties after each day. There is simply NO recovery time and its a recipe for absolute disaster.

Some of the comments are just ridiculous. It's mentalities like these that create the 'problems' in our scene...

"Only 6? I do that in one go then more later on."

"I've taken 22 caps of Molly on top of bombs and Lucy yet still manage to post this comment..it's not the drug."

"too bad you can't od on mdma"

"REAL MDMA IS BROWN. TRUST ME MY PET DOG HAS HAD IT. and its the legit shit."

^ da faq?!

I know, I was laughing, and cringing and getting mad all at the same time at some of the comments.

I did have a chuckle at this one however, kinda rang some truth...

This baffles me. I have a hard time finding sympathy for these people...

It's like 2000-2001 all over again. (Allen Ho?)

Or 1996 (Leah Betts)

The drug is a joke people. It is probably the most celebrated in a long time if not ever. It's in media, music newspapers and news stories.

When Veld was going on I was watching the CP24 news report on it. Electronic Dance Music, outside.... with friends... oh and how many of you have done M-D-M-A? Interviewing the crowd etc... oh I've never tried it before... been offered many times. Blah blah we have a strict drug search check.

The more festivals North Americans have involving EDM music, the more new users will try it. NA abuses everything. Just like alcohol.

The lower the average age of their first "experience" and so on. It's been happening for over a decade now. Kids are growing up on this like the internet. It's sad, its misused and abused by kids who think they know what the fuck their doing.


Gimme a break. It's a joke now. Might as well be legalized. Heck, it has a better chance before MJ will.

bunch of stupid kids got the darwin award, but ruined the party for everyone else. got it. moving on

I was talking to a guy last night who's company is involved with EZ said that besides the two kids who died, there were plenty more who fell seriously ill. EZ promoters cancelled because they were afraid there was a bad batch and didn't know how many were sold and didn't want anymore blood if you will on their hands on their grounds.

So EZ promoters made the call to cancel? Not the police or anything? I've been wondering who made that decision.

interesting

Kinda like Tiesto a couple years back. I was leaving 45 min before it ended to beat the rush and was watching kids getting wheeled out in stretchers and the SRU were pulling up in paddy wagons. Show got shut down shortly after (little late lol)

I'm sure the police were not rallying for them to stay open and bang it out for another day, but I think it probably was advised to shut'er down and had little to no retaliation from the EZ side.

Toxicology reports are still pending in the deaths of two Electric Zoo attendees last month, but authorities are now looking at the possibility that the fatalities were caused by a chemical akin to bath salts, not overdoses of molly (slang for MDMA). The Post reports that 20-year-old Staten Island resident Matthew Rybarczyk died in June after ingesting what he believed was molly at a party on Governors Island, but turned out to be methylone, a chemical that can produce effects similar to MDMA but is often toxic. Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget Brennan says the city is seeing a "proliferation" of methylone being sold on the black market. Though bath salts are outlawed in New York State, methylone is not covered under the ban, though it is federally classified as a Schedule 1 drug. "We urgently need a law that would allow us to prosecute the sale of this deadly substance," Brennan said. That law was passed this last legislative session, and is expected to be signed by Governor Cuomo soon. �Kids think �Molly� is a pure, safe ecstasy, but it�s not,� a DEA agent tells the tabloid. �It�s not pure, it�s not safe and it�s not even ecstasy.� Testing kits are being sold to help determine the veracity of your drug dealer's claims.
