 The Dangers of Recreational Drugs and Their Use- MDMA

Methylenedioxymethamphetamine is the drug known as MDMA, or Molly. It was originally called the Club Drug, because it was popular in clubs. It is not harmless, having some very serious side effects, and not every user knows that they have been given the drug. It is commonly not pure, but mixed with other drugs such as Caffeine, Methamphetamine, Ketamine, Cocaine, Cathinones.

"MDMA, commonly known as ecstasy in the tablet form or molly in the crystal form, is a dangerously powerful psychoactive drug that produces feelings of heightened energy euphoria, and sensitivity to touch. It is considered an empathogen." (avenuesrecovery.com)

The delivery system for Molly is by gel capsule, pills, tablets, powder, crystal, and liquid. It can be crushed or snorted and also smoked. It can be put in alcohol or mixed drinks to mask the bitterness, and shots would be an easy way to slip it to someone. It is also used as a suppository. The drug produces euphoria, feelings of empathic closeness, heightened sexuality, enhanced enjoyment of tactile experiences, significant sexual arousal.

"Knowing the signs of ecstasy abuse can help you recognize what's happening to someone you love. Most people who use ecstasy or molly experience increased energy and enhanced self-confidence, believing that everyone around them is their friend.

Some of the common signs of ecstasy use include:

Author's Note:

If you think that someone has slipped you a drug without your knowledge or consent, take immediate action. Remove yourself from the situation immediately and call law enforcement. This drug is not harmless ( even though it has fun names and is used in intimate settings) and has significant dangers attached, that include psychosis and mental illness. If someone you know displays the effects listed above, speak up. You may save them from serious mental disorders, caused by Molly and other hallucinogenic drugs, that aren't made public. Become familiar with the drug effects listed here so that you can stay vigilant.
