So How Can You Be Sure Molly Is Safe?

You can't be sure molly is safe. That and the fact it's illegal are the reasons we can't recommend that anyone use it.

However, if you are going to use the drug, you need to know these basic facts:

1. Your drug dealer probably doesn't know any more about the purity of the drug than you. A study funded by the Department of Justice in San Francisco found that dealers typically did not try to change the logo or pill design of the molly they received from their suppliers. However, that doesn't preclude a rival supplier from tampering with the drug.
2. The color or logo typically changes on each batch of pills from the same supplier. If "Blue Dolphin" or "Mitsubishi" or "Alligator" worked for you one time, it might not be available the next time you want to use the drug. Or a different supplier, who works with a different "recipe," may be using the same logo. 
3. Public health officials and police make a point of publicizing deaths from drugs for two reasons. One is they want to save lives. The other is they want dealers to know when they got a bad batch. Public officials work on the assumption that drug dealers want to keep their buyers, alive, too. If they can't stop the trade altogether, they hope to stop a bad batch. But when people are dying from a bad batch, it will be at least a few weeks before the "good stuff" is on the street again.
4. Certain cities are known for having fewer "bad batches" than others, but it's not like there's a Better Business Bureau for street drugs. Don't assume that because you are in a city where there are no reports of deadly drugs, you won't be the first.

Sassafras oil (also known as "sass") is not a natural form of ecstasy. And it doesn't really give you a high, although it makes tasty root beer.

How Can You Tell When You Need to Go to an ER?

We aren't scaremongers, so we aren't going to tell you that if you have taken some street drug, you're going to die. But if you got a bad drug, here's how to recognize the symptoms that require a trip to the emergency room.

1. People who have problems with molly (or ecstasy) typically are taking prescription antidepressants, or have also taken ketamine (special K), heroin, GHB, or cocaine.
2. If you find someone passed out and you only suspect they have taken drugs, call for emergency help. Glow sticks and fruit-flavored energy drinks often go with illicit drug use.
3. A bad trip from molly can cause a variety of brain-related symptoms, such as headache, blurred vision, passing out, anxiety, paranoia, hot flashes, stumbling, dizziness, and restlessness.
4. A molly overdose can also cause dry mouth, inability to urinate, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps.
5. Males who use molly on a regular basis often become impotent. Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra can't correct this kind of erectile dysfunction, since the problem is in the brain, rather than in the circulatory system.
6. Women of reproductive age are especially likely to have bad experiences with ecstasy during the mid-point of their menstrual periods, when their estrogen levels are especially high.

Most people take molly without incident, but a few suffer serious injury or death. Make sure you have someone who can provide the help you need if things go wrong when you take an illegal, unregulated drug.
