What is Molly
Molly is a powder form of MDMA or 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine, a chemical component of a street drug Ecstasy. However, Molly is deemed to be safer than Ecstasy because it is said to be free from caffeine or methamphetamine.
Festival attendees and concertgoers prefer to use Molly because it has the ability to increase the performance of the brain’s neurotransmitters. Thus, it creates feelings of euphoria, more energy, and empathy for others. However, using this party drug has adverse effects on hearing, vision, and sense of time.
Molly is classified as a Schedule I controlled substance by the Drug Enforcement Administration. This means that it is not recommended for medical treatment but rather it is addictive. A person who has been using it can experience anxiety, confusion, depression, sleep problems, drug cravings, and paranoia. It also prevents the ability of your body to regulate temperature. This, it may result in elevated body temperature or hyperthermia.
