The L.A. Coliseum Commission rescinded Wednesday its ban on electronic music festivals at the Coliseum and Sports Arena, allowing events such as the Electric Daisy Carnival, Monster Massive and Together As One to continue to be held at the venues.

The electronic music events are commonly known as raves by attendees and have come under scrutiny in Los Angeles County since the death of a 15-year-old girl who overdosed on the drug Ecstasy at the Electronic Daisy Carnival in June. Use of illicit drugs, especially Ecstasy, have been known to go hand-in-hand with the pulsating musical beats that scantily-clad young adults flock to these for.

The commission alowed a pair of previously scheduled events to go on--for fear of being suit for breaching contracts--but they featured an enforced age limit of 18 years old, more medical personnel on hand and increased patrol by authorities for narcotics possession.

Thousands attended a similar two-night music festival, Hard Haunted Mansion, in the parking lot of the Shrine Auditorium during Halloween weekend. A college freshman, Jackson Roddy, who attended both nights fell six stories from a dorm at USC early Monday morning. Investigators are still unsure how or why the male student fell. Authorities are still trying to determine if Roddy's consumption of marijuana, Ecstasy and alcohol at the event is in anyway connected with his fall.

Worries about illicit drug use on its premises prompted the Los Angeles Convention Center in August to tear up a contract with electronic music promoter Insomniac to hold a Tiesto Concert at the convention center on Oct. 30.

Insomniac, which hosted EDC at the Coliseum, filed a breach of contract lawsuit against the convention center, seeking more than $1 million in damages. A judge granted Insomniac's request that the lawsuit be dismissed on Sept. 27, according the L.A. Superior Court website.

A public relations representative hired by Insomniac said the promoter is working with the City of Los Angeles on a "business solution regarding the issues raised in the lawsuit and hopes to resolve all outstanding issues without the cloud of litigation." 

The suit was dismissed without prejudice, meaning Insomniac can sue again in either state or federal court if a resolution cannot be reached.

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors asked a special commission of medical experts, promoters and venue officials to look into safety issues surrounding raves and suggest policies that could be put in place to reduce the risk of serious injuries. The group's report is due to the supervisors this month.

Together As One, an event jointly promoted by Go Ventures and Insomniac, is scheduled for Dec. 31 at the Sports Arena. Among the featured artists are Major Lazer, Diplo and DJ Reza. Like all other music festivals since June, the event has a strict age limit of 18 years old to enter.

The commission's action to remove the moratorium was highly unexpected because the group does not post its agenda online.

The British researcher who deemed Ecstasy less dangerous than horseback riding last year is also in the news again because he co-authored a study published Monday calling alcohol more dangerous than drugs such as heroin and crack cocaine. The study found that marijuana, Ecstasy and LSD were among the least harmful drugs. The studies focused solely on Britain and have been widely criticized by other experts.
