College student dies in fall from Strip hotel after EDC and taking Ecstasy

[Sortie]

Sometime during the early hours of the festival on Sunday night, her friends said McCaughan began to panic after taking an MDMA pill... Friends eventually took her to EDC security guards and asked them to call a cab.
The friends allowed McCaughan to ride alone back to Circus Circus <--link

That's NOT what friends are for.
Friends don't leave friends.

Somebody's gonna get sued over this I bet.
Either the people at EDC or the security company that allowed a GIRL who clearly isn't in the right state of mind to leave ALONE.

Sad.

to be honest with you, why do people take drugs if they cant handle them?

[Sortie]

That's just it...how do you know you can handle them?
You never know when you get a bad batch of whatever.

[Jhaulotte]

That is horrible. Could not imagine friends that would do that. You see how often girls do not let a friend that is too drunk get away from the group, bu they chose to let a girl out of her mind go alone.

[astros148]

someone is going get sued here and i bet its going be the hotel. wouldnt be surprised if they shut down.

That's why you take Mollys. Much safer than whatever crack they put in Ecstasy.

Seriously. Friends won't let their friend dance with a guy they don't like but they let someone who was having paranoid delusions leave by themselves?

Yup. Why are people still taking X with Molly being so popular?

Thats major friends fail right there. I know its the girls choice to take whatever she took. But as friends, back each other up. Totally selfish to send her off in a cab all by herself.

[NoahRam]

Lawsuit for sure.

[It was all a dream]

Yeah, because your drug dealer tells you the white powder that's in an unidentifiable capsule is "112% pure molly" is so much safer. At least with tabs you can look them up and know youre being poisoned prior to taking them. People are going to catch on and start putting whatever in capsules and selling it IF they arnt already.

^ yeah that lol. soo easy to crush up some white crap and stuff it into a capsule and say it's 200mg of pure molly....

Major friend fail for sure BUT...
Say you just spent $300 for tickets. Your drove 4 hours to Vegas from Arizona. You check into your crappy hotel full of kids and circus clowns.
You wait 1 hour for the shuttle to arrive. You spend 3 hours on the shuttle bus. You spend 45 minutes trying to get into the venue.
You and all of your friends take the same pill (so you think). 1 girl freaks out and everybody else is having a BLAST.
You take your friend to security and she goes home. You are thinking "I couldn't imagine sitting in a cab for 2 more hours right now."
Cell phone reception sucks at the speedway and nobody can call to check on their friend.
I hope she gets home and takes care of herself.
Not saying I would do the same thing, but I could see how they might let her "roll" home on her own.

People are going to get sued. Lots of people.
If security notices that someone is clearly on drugs, why wouldn't they call a police officer over?

Actually yeah, he does. I've been going to the same one for years. Find yourself and legit and "honest" one you're fine. It's no different than finding a trustful mechanic.

You are thinking "I couldn't imagine sitting in a cab for 2 more hours right now."

Fck, I'd think that too. But I would miss a whole event so my friend is safe and doesnt get into trouble. Last thing I would want is some f'ed up trip when someone ends up in a hospital or gets arrested. In this case, its even worse. A friend dies.

There's a threshold to what I would do and when its too much. I guess I have more to lose thats why my decisions are much more thought out. I always think... theres always another night, another Vegas weekend, another day to party. Fck this YOLO stuff. LOL. Live to party another day...

I agree. This is a sad situation all the way around. I learned a longtime ago that no 'event' would be prioritized over friends or family. Once I became a father this lesson served me well. I wouldn't ever start a dinner at a restaurant with a toddler, with out being prepared to ask for the food to be boxed up and head home. I mean no disrespect with that analogy, but sometimes you've got to pick up your stuff a head home, mid-concert, mid-meal, or mid-show. I feel bad for everyone in this story, parents, friends, etc.
