Staying hydrated on molly/ecstasy is important

huh, interesting.

so... they're denying everyone water to stop some people from getting high? still doesn't seem right to me tbh.

Well, that's because it isn't right. But this sort of backwards thinking is extremely common in anti drug policy.

The RAVE Act and crack house laws only punish organizers who knowingly allow drug use to happen at their events or premises...Rave organizers told Anderson that, as a result, they try to avoid looking like they're aware of drug use at their events...Some organizers don't even offer free bottled water to help prevent heat strokes, a potentially fatal side-effect of some drug use on the dance floor.
