| Hello Molly! |
The Electric Zoo Festival also known as E-Zoo is an annual electronic music festival held over Labor Day weekend in New York City on Randall's Island Park. The festival represents all genres of electronic music, bringing top international DJs and live acts from multiple countries along with hometown favorites to four stages. Time Out New York cited Electric Zoo as the festival that "transforms Randall's Island into an Ibiza on the East River every Labor Day"
The 2013 Electric Zoo was cut short after two people died after ingesting the powerful drug.
The final day, Sunday, September 1 was cancelled. There were four more hospitalized in critical condition, possibly having to be linked to MDMA (or Ecstasy).
The founders of the event, Made Event, announced on the last day of Electric Zoo, that "The founders of Electric Zoo send our deepest condolences to the families of the two people who passed away this weekend. Because there is nothing more important to us than our patrons, we have decided in consultation with the New York City Parks Department that there will be no show today." They also later announced that Made Event will give refunds to the people who has tickets to any Electric-Zoo Concerts on September 1.
Syracuse University grad Jeffrey Russ, 23, of Rochester, and Olivia Rotondo, 20, a University of New Hampshire student from North Providence, Rhode Island, both died.
We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to those lost in this horrible tragedy.

| Atlanta rapper Future openly endorses his stans to try "Molly". |
Cyrus, 20 is proud to be a declaration. Her name is dropped in some of the rapper's verses when it comes to that drug.
Wondering how long will it take before Bill-O makes a story about how evil the entertainers are?
Urban Dictionary describes Molly as a pure form of MDMA (ecstasy), usually a free powder or in capsules.
The appearance of this drug is typically white in color. Beige or yellowish color indicates that the drug is not the purest... it's been stepped on.
The entertainment industry say that it's a way to "turn-up."

Urban Dictionary says, while the molly is fresh in these stupid people's body- they feel great however, once they come off of their high, they typically experience boredom in more extreme ways than smarter individuals who did not engage in this drug consumption. Another side effect of this drug is sweating an abnormal more than usual.
Rappers typically refer to the consumption of this drug by stating "pop tha molly."
Let's go down the list of future obituaries who openly engage in the drug.
Trinidad James, a Southern based rapper who appears on Gold Gang Records and Def Jam.
Future, a Southern based rapper who appears on A1/Freebandz and Epic Records.
Tyga, a West Coast rapper who appears on Young Money Entertainment/Cash Money Records.
Miley Cyrus, a pop singer who appears on RCA Records.
2 Chainz, a Southern rapper who appears on Def Jam.
Nicki Minaj, a mainstream rapper who appears on Cash Money Records.

Kanye West, a mainstream rapper who appears on Roc-A-Fella Records.
Rick Ross, a mainstream rapper who appears on Def Jam and Maybach Music Group.
Gucci Mane, a Southern based rapper who appears on 1017 Brick Squad Records.
Waka Flocka Flame, a Southern based rapper who appears 1017 Brick Squad /Atlantic Records.

Bun B, a Southern rapper who appears on Rap-A-Lot Records.
Three Six Mafia, a mainstream rap group that appears on Hypnotized Minds, LLC/Sony Records.
Amy Winhouse, a pop singer who appears Universal Republic Records.
Pimp C passed away in 2007 after drinking a combination of Molly and Lean (Dirty Sprite).
Amy Winhouse passed away in 2011 after using numerous drugs.
CNN reports the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) calls Molly a powder or crystal form of MDMA -- or 3, 4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine.
Its a Schedule 1 controlled substance, considered to have a high potential for abuse and no accepted use in medical treatment, which means it's illegal.
This year, molly was abundant at music festivals -- if you knew where to look. At Miami's Ultra Music Festival, fliers littered the landscape mentioning her name like missing child posters: "Have you seen molly?" And when Madonna took to the stage to introduce an artist, the pop star asked the audience: "How many people in this crowd have seen molly?" A slew of cheers answered, though Madonna later said she'd been referring to a song, not to an illegal drug.
Hip-hop artists claim they know her -- she's casually mentioned by 2 Chainz in the Nicki Minaj track "Beez In the Trap," by Childish Gambino in his song "Unnecessary," by Kanye West in "Mercy," by Danny Brown in "Die Like a Rockstar."

MDMA acts as a stimulant and a psychedelic, according to the DEA. After being inhaled, eaten or parachuted -- folded into a tissue and swallowed -- molly ushers in euphoria. It floods users' brains with neurotransmitters serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine, making them feel elated, empathic and full of energy.
MDMA first found popularity in the form of Ecstasy as the drug of choice among ravers at underground nightclubs in the early 1990s. But when questions arose over the purity of Ecstasy --- the drug was often mixed with other ingredients ---- people turned their attention to a purer form, said Nathan Messer, board president of the nonprofit organization DanceSafe, which promotes health and safety within the nightclub community.
Some consider the name picked for this white powder a clever marketing strategy: "Molly" carries both the innocent appeal of the girl next door and the implication that the drug is always pure MDMA. But because the chemical makeup of molly is often altered, taking the drug is dangerous, DEA spokesman Rusty Payne said.
"(Suppliers) are making it look like something that is safe and easy to take, but in many cases, you're playing Russian roulette," Payne said.
And although MDMA tastes, smells and affects you differently than other drugs would, without having experience with each molly variation, there's no easy way to tell if the substance you take is pure, Messer said. But even as its pure form molly, MDMA can be dangerous.

| The 2013 MTV Video Music Awards caused a bit of controversy. Entertainer Miley Cyrus, a former child star was "twerking" on singer Robin Thicke. The entertainment news agitators are shocked and applauded by her performance. Was she on Molly? |
"You have no idea the lab environment these chemicals or substances were produced in," Payne said. "If they knew where things were produced, they might think twice."
There is now greater permissiveness and lax attitudes toward drugs such as marijuana, so people move on to other substances, such as molly, and give themselves permission to use them, Anderson said.
"We are moving into a post-war on drugs era. We're seeing a softening of drug laws and a softening against drugs, especially among young people."
For now, the DEA is more focused on fighting the abuse of prescription medications such as Oxycontin and Valium. But as admirers plaster posters at concerts asking, "Have you seen molly?" officials can only hope she stays missing.
One thing about rapper Kendrick Lamar, he's not like these idiots. The reason why the rapper dropped that diss on the entertainers was to tell them, "y'all are fucking the rap game up with this stupid shit you're doin'!"
Future, the Atlanta based rapper wrote a song about taking Molly and drinking Lean (Dirty Sprite/Sizzurp).
Basically he's rapping about a combination of cocaine, dirty Sprite (codeine, Sprite, Jolly Ranchers, xanax, and valium). He said that "he doesn't mind if his heart stops!"
