I saw a post on a social website about the dangers of mdma.

" Molly has been a common drug lately & everyone is trying it. Pop 1 and your sweating? Let me explain why your sweating: Molly is a drug made up of cocaine, crack, ecstasy, meth & bath salt. It slows your heart rate 10x the normal limit & reeks havoc on your immune system with just one pill. Take two & it damages your brain without you even being able realize it. It becomes an addiction & soon a cry for help. By the fifth one you take, it starts killing your organs & preventing them from functioning as normal. It increases your chance of stroke & heart attack and can cause your lungs to stop functioning all together! It is a very powerful & VERY DANGEROUS drug! More harmful than crack itself. Many rappers are promoting it to involve young people in the manufacturing, selling, and usage of the drug. Spread the word to save lives of young people across the country! Show them the truth so they can make an informed & smart decision if they're ever offered it."

This post has been shared and liked thousands of times. Now I'm not an advocate of mdma but this post is so terribly wrong. It literally angered me seeing lies accepted as fact!

THE DANGERS OF MOLLY:

- Letting go of uneccesary attachments
- Feeling love and empathy
- Resolving personal and relationship issues
- Learning a new dance move
- Playing with someones hand for over an hour
- Enjoying lights and bass more than the average citizen

"Molly is a drug made up of cocaine, crack, ecstasy, meth & bath salt. It slows your heart rate 10x the normal limit "

LMFAO

Those two sentences sort of cancel each other out.

They just listed a bunch of drugs they knew haha

Beware!

As far as ignorant posts go, the one in the OP was at least a bit funny.
"More harmful than crack itself. Many rappers are promoting it..." wat

Sounds like sarcasm to me.

Now how many marijuana's do I have to inject again?


Kind regards,

That the word "amphetamine" is built into the name should cancel it out as well

I did eight marijuanas before getting out of bed this morning.

Sarcasm or not, I think OP's concern is that the disinformation attracts people who perpetuate it as truth, which is not so different from the problem we see in modern infotainment. People love a scandal, unfortunately.

On the up side OP, people "in the know" will remain as such, and the people whom accept such baseless assertions would continue to only accept "evidence" that hives with their existing prejudice, e.g. drugs are bad. Factual information rarely breaks through the barrier of emotional appeal and righteous indignation.

I wouldn't mind at all if it was taken in a sarcastic tone. I just think when people percieve this post as truth, it fuels unnecessary legislation of drugs by misinformation. I mean if someone read that post and believed it and then had to vote on the issue of decriminalizing mdma for treatment of post traumatic stress disorder, they would definitely vote against it.

I'm sorry if my post took on a little strong tone its just I live in a " religious upright" place and people around here believe stuff like that.

LOL. Damn.

Molly is dangerous, you could drink too much water when you are on it... happens often enough... oh wait... my bad, it is the excess water that is the issue, Molly is pretty damned safe if you don't take an absurd amount.

I live in an area with a lot of sensationalist claims in the local publications that are quite similar, it is odd how many people can't do decent research and yet work in media.

sounds almost as dangerous as the devil's lettuce. thanks for the warning!

Disgraceful!

The thing that is most damaging to people ( in the uk at least ) is the banning of mdma in the first place. No one dies from mdma here but theres plenty who are dying ingesting 5-it and pmma etc thinking that they are taking mdma.

The government is a serious risk to peoples health not mdma.

Demented I completely agree with you! The legal alternatives are never as healthy! And people are going to take stuff regardless of laws. Instead of getting hooked up from untrustworthy dealers if had licensed places selling medicinal and recreational drug people could have a safe supply.

As chemically harmless as it may be i have noticed a sort of negative impact most specially in the psytrance community theres alot of evil and its usually where molly's involved but thats just people but it acts as a sort of catalyst for the effects it brings out i disagree with the article but its not an angel of a substance and i dislike it for what circle of abusers it spawned.

the majority from around here eats the stuff like peanuts and its very often speed and not mdma at all,and i saw it bring the garbage side out of people who use it(espescially the regulars)the occasionals have it pretty nice but become so open by the chemically induced empathy and love the become sitting ducks for those empty holes the fiends want to fill and as people in the know,they can decieve with very convincing demeneor

I dont label anyone as one of these influences here or advocating an anti mdma stance and neither have any other objection then me just having a different view to it as completly harmless and tend to keep distant from its circles

otherwise have nice rolls nexians and keep the LOVE real

I'd put more stock in this, accuracy wise..



The more ludicrous the commentary on the evils of real life drugs, the more people will switch off to the increasing levels of delusional paranoiac ramblings and will seek answer for themselves..

Outside of religious nuts, who else would even buy such garbage (get feeling I may be putting more faith in the potential mindset of humanity than it might deserve at this time mind you).

Where are they getting these numbers from? LOL You take 2 and you are brain damaged. 5 and this... I heard.. after the 120th pill...your urine turns purple!!..


Sounds a lot like 7 acid hit and you are insane..

The people who are saying these things are not only insane themselves but ignorant as anything.

Totally agree with you Changafarian. Molly certainly is no angel. The people who most fanatically declare MDMA to be a harmless, angelic medicine are usually those who abuse it.
It's a way of justifying their obsessive addictive behaviour. Around here there are whole circles of young people that eat MDMA like candy too. They're all partying so hard, so often. Without rest. It seems like they fear rest. Like they're hopelessly trying to fill
the insatiable emptyness inside of them with as much possible noise as they can raise:
Partying with loud, viscious, shouting music, upper drugs(Molly, Cocaine, Speed) and wandering from 1 after party to the next, from 1 tekno festival to the next. Without rest.

Endlessly trying to escape silence & rest. Because in silence & rest you become aware of yourself. And that is what these people are doing; Running away from themselves, because they're terrified of themselves. They can't bear the presence of themselves. And so they
create all this noise in their lives and try to sustain it indefenitely, just to keep being distracted from themselves. To keep themselves from becomming fully aware of themselves.

And this lifestyle tears them apart. Most of them realise this far too late. And the feeling of brotherhood with the fellow drug abusers is what keeps them in these circles of drug abuse. Molly is always abundantly present in these circles of collective drug abuse.

I know this so well because, using Molly, I too had once ended up in such a group and abused MDMA decently. I too now dislike it. I don't hate it, like I hate cocaine for instance. But I dislike it and would rather avoid it.

It seems that, despite all the positive effects it might have, you just can't deny that MDMA comes from a family of nasty drugs: Amphetamines.

There are more controlled and responsible users of MDMA but they are quite rare. Abuse of MDMA is rampant and the circle of abuse seems to be rapidly growing with new young people joining in. Most of these people don't just abuse MDMA: They almost all seem to also abuse
Cocaine and Amphetamine.

I guess I could say: Not all MDMA users I know are abusive junkies, but almost all abusive
junkies I know include MDMA in their drugs of abuse. Abuse & MDMA seem to be too strongly linked. That's why I stay away from it.

Nicely said. I do believe it can have addiction potential.

I'm more of an MDA man but have eaten and enjoy my share of MDMA. I don't feel its a "bad" drug but it certainly is abused. Show me a drug that isn't.

I just wanted to add this. I to anyone saying MDMA isnt at all dangerous of bad for the body, well the verdict came in a couple years ago with studies showing that MDMA is indeed a nuero-toxin.

This isnt opinion or debatable, look it up. It will harm your brain in long term use.
