This past Labor Day weekend, the electronic dance music festival Electric Zoo was held on Randall’s Island in New York City and resulted in the death of two attendees from what has been released as an overdose of the synthetic chemical MDMA. The validity of this cause of death is skeptical at best, as there are many replica chemicals that induce similar effects but are much more dangerous than MDMA. Furthermore, dying from dehydration and from overdosing are two complete different events. Both stem from lack of information, and thus both can be prevented by education. As a result of these deaths, the last day of the 3-day music festival was cancelled by Mayor Bloomberg.
