“Molly” or “Mandy” Not Just a Cute Name

Who is this “Molly?”  The latest drug on the market being used heavily by ages 16-24.  This drug is considered to be pure methalyndioxymethamphetamine  (MDMA) also known as “ecstasy.”   The name is short for molecule, unlike Ecstasy which is laced with other ingredients, Molly is pure and is in a crystal or powder form.

This drug has been classified as Schedule 1, the most dangerous class of all,  by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) which means it can become very addictive if used for non medical treatments.   Even though those who have used it describe a feeling of euphoria  and being very loose and free, what is actually occurring is an increase in  your body temperature (hyperthermia) and perspiration which puts your body at further risk. An overdose can lead to hallucinations and convulsions. As abovetheline.com puts it, instead of getting in touch with your senses, you will experience the sensation of cramps, sweating, nausea & blurred vision. Doesn't sound too good to me.

Molly has causally been used in the lyrics of some hip-hip songs you may listen to and is widely available at festivals.  

Stay informed. Be aware. Pay attention.
