QUINCY, Wash. -- One person died and more than 100 people were hospitalized after apparently overdosing on drugs during a music festival at the Gorge Amphitheatre over the weekend.
Officials said someone at the Paradiso Festival was peddling a drug promoted as ecstasy, but was actually "Molly," a powerful form of ecstasy sometimes mixed with other drugs.
Many of the people who took the drug overdosed, and local hospitals were overwhelmed with patients.
Sarina Fahrner, the chief nursing officer at Quincy Valley Medical Center, said the hospital treated more than 100 overdose patients from the concert, all of whom took the drug Molly.
"When you have cocaine and LSD and meth all mixed together, it just does terrible things to your body," she said. "Your heart doesn't tolerate it very well, your breathing does not tolerative it very well."
She said the overdose patients ranged in age from 18 to 26 years old.
Fahrner said Quincy Valley Medical Center is the closest hospital to the Gorge Amphitheatre, so they often treat people who overdose on drugs during concerts. But this weekend was the worst they've seen as far as the number of patients, she said.
She said several of the patients were critically ill and had to be sent to other hospitals for treatment in intensive-care units.
Shawn Wertman, the supervisor at Central Washington Hospital in Wenatchee, said his hospital received the most seriously-ill patients, including a young man who died early Sunday of an apparent overdose.
The name of the man who died has not been released.
Officials with the Gorge Amphitheatre and Live Nation Entertainment could not be reached for comment on Sunday.

i thought molly referred to mdma, and extacy was the notoriously unpure one?

I lol'd hard when I read this article... And then I cried because I knew people out there are eating it up and imposing earlier curfews on their children.

Not even. Back in the day ecstasy was just MDMA. It's about as impure as "molly", people just think that because they can see their little white crystals that it makes it real. So essentially they just rotated 3 different terms for the exact same drug as if it was some kind of big dangerous mixup.

Another example of the dangers perpetuated by the war on drugs. If MDMA was legal people could buy the real deal and know what a safe dose is. Instead people have to resort to buying from people who may be selling an obscure RC as MDMA and taking a potentially lethal dose because they do not have the means to gauge what an appropriate dose is.
Then to top it off you have these ignorant ass journalist spewing disinformation about what these substances even are.
Journalism has lost all integrity.

Hmm I know that line sounds sketchy, but I've had ecstasy that was cut with Ketamine and Heroine before so maybe this isn't so hard to believe.

This is fucked up, yet again. Test kits should be more widely available, especially at festivals. Just like condoms.
On a side note, I remember getting what felt like LSD in an Ecstasy pill way back in the '90s. It was wonderful.

this might be related, but I've read somewhere that the amount of MDMA contained in pills has doubled on average recently. I can't cite a source for this, but it makes sense. They were saying that people who aren't used to the dosages were ODing alot more.

That's interesting... It would still be pretty hard to OD on MDMA alone, wouldn't it?
Also, doesn't Cocaine cancel out the effects of MDMA, or is it the other way around?
