Our treatment facility is accredited by the Joint Commission and LegitScript Certified. The name “Molly” is slang for the word “molecular,” and it refers to the powder form MDMA takes in its pure form. Users may mistakenly believe that Molly sold on the street is “cleaner” and won’t contain drugs and other contaminants often present in ecstasy tablets, but that’s typically not true. The DEA has tested seized Molly samples from off the street and has found that Molly is often cut with the same substances found in ecstasy. In some cases, seized Molly was not Molly at all, and instead was the same substance found in bath salts. Molly and ecstasy are manufactured in illegal labs, most of which can be found operating in either Canada or the Netherlands.
The ‘hangover’ often lasts hours, and is characterized by lack of motivation, focus, and loss of appetite. An atypical but still common form of ‘hangover’ is the well-documented ‘Tuesday Blues’ phenomenon, where the user feels well during the first few days after use, then becomes irritable or depressed on about the third day. (Government web sites like to call this ‘suicide tuesdays’, but I’m unaware of a single case of a user attempting suicide under these conditions.) Some users have little ‘hangover’ of any sort. Given that medications like Viagra and Cialis tend to reduce blood pressure while MDMA increases BP, it’s not clear what additional risks (if any) the combination might pose. There have been anecdotal reports of unpleasent reactions to the combination; start at a low dose if you want to try the combination.
Neurotoxicity (brain damage)
Mental health problems are very common (more than half the population has suffered from anxiety, depression, or other mental health challenges), and are nothing to be ashamed of. A surprisingly large number of people have a mitral valve prolapse (MVP), more commonly known as a ‘heart murmur’. This is caused by a heart valve that doesn’t quite fit, allowing a little blood to flow past it when it should be completely closed. (This small flow of blood is what causes the ‘murmur’ sound.) For most people with MVP, their condition is mild enough that MDMA shouldn’t pose any increased risk. If they feel vigerous exercise could kill you, MDMA could pose a serious risk to you. MDMA comes in a powder form and is a stimulant, hallucinogenic drug that drastically increases a person’s energy and sociability, making it an ideal substance to take on the party or club scene.
Science and Statistics
Perhaps taking a new interest in what may become a commercially valuable drug, Merck, the company that first created MDMA in 1912, has gone through their own records to find out what exactly they did create the substance for. If not, they may be severely traumatized or even killed. For a large person (100 kg, 220 lbs), 100 mg might only by a mild experience, while 150 mg will probably give a moderately strong experience, and 200 mg is likely to be pretty intense. For a more ‘medium’ sized person (70 kg, 155 lbs) 70 mg will likely give a mild experience, while 105 mg will likely give a moderately strong experience, and 140 mg is likely to give an intense experience. In the case of MDMA being used for PTSD therapy, the goal is to produce an intense experience. So, a larger dose is usually going to be appropriate.
Overheating and Hydration
There’s been a recent medical report of a young man who died from snorting what seems to have been a very large amount of MDMA powder. When a person takes MDMA in an ecstasy tablet or capsule form, effects are often felt about 45 minutes to one hour later. Within the first half hour, the effects will peak, and last for around three to four hours.
Dancing feels so wonderful, the lights, the music, the crowd of pulsing humanity around him…. Helped by the drugs, Bob doesn’t feel tired or pay much attention to the passing time. His body temperature begins to rise as his dancing causes his metabolism to work harder, producing large amounts of heat as a byproduct.
Drug Tests
This overheating starts to cause the breakdown of a lot of tissues, including the clotting mechanisms that stop bleeding. You begin to bleed internally, while at the same time your muscles begin to break down, dumping a lot of toxic junk into your bloodstream. All this ‘pollution’ overwhelms your already heat-weakened kidneys and liver, poisoning them. You would typically suffer, fall into a coma, and die of multiple organ failure.
- If you keep hitting your brain with more and more MDMA without enough recovery time, you can end up with problems with memory, concentration, anxiety, depression, etc.
- (I just double numbers, i.e. 2 x 2 is 4, 4 x 2 is 8, 8 x 2 is 16, etc.) Since MDMA also temporarily reduces the rate of urine production (it’s an “anti-diuretic”) this is more of an issue immediately following the ‘high’ than during it.
- The drug can start to affect your judgement and attention span before you feel particularly ‘high’, so you shouldn’t drive or do other potentially dangerous things after taking a dose of MDMA.
- Finding an exit door, he stumbles out into a back alley and collapses.
But, it’s such an easy and cheap way to help your body deal with stress and recover that it seems perverse not to. Wellbutrin is a rather strange antidepressant drug. In the short term it affects norepinephrine, but as metabolites of the drug build up, serotonin is strongly affected as well. While it may be tempting to temporarily go off your medication to use MDMA, doing so may make you suddenly depressed or anxious. If you are being treated for depression, it’s best to continue that treatment without interruptions.
Neurotoxicity (brain damage)
Tandy hailed this record level of seizures as proof that the drug war was working. Assuming you could figure out what the right dosage is, your dog might not handle getting high very well. There’s a famous case from the CIA’s MK-ULTRA project (where random people were poisoned with LSD, among many other strange and terrible things.) One of their victims had a very, very bad trip and eventually ended up committing suicide. It’s not safe to assume a dog won’t panic on the come-up and have a horrible experience. If you’re new to MDMA, it’s best to start with a lower dose until you know how you respond to it.
A love letter to a beautiful drug….
This increased muscle tension will increase your metabolism (which can make you warmer), and might cause some muscle stiffness the next day. In the case of your jaw, it’s also responding to your mental state. The more excited you are, the more ‘expressive’ your face and jaws become; it’s like your cheerfully high brain is trying to communicate it’s internal state through your jaw muscles. There is also the small problem of lack of reproducibility.
- Fruit and other light foods can help you recover and are usually inoffensive.
- Sedatives can greatly increase the degree of intoxication while making the user less aware of it.
- In both cases, the MDMA exposed group did not show persistently reduced or abnormal regional or total cerebral blood flow.
What it can do, however, is give you after the high the dea: the definitive guide to mdma molly, ecstasy new insights which may allow you to work out your problems yourself. In the end, the gift of MDMA is more one of questions then answers.
