Molly was a slang term for 'pure' MDMA at least as far back as the late nineties/early aughts, from 'molecule'. The usage was to differentiate from 'pressies' which were pressed-pills supposedly composed of MDMA plus binder plus whatever the presser wanted to add, usually amphetamine though sometimes DXM or methamphetamine.
Molly, in contrast, was sold in loose powder form, at least back then.
Contrary to urban legends, pressies were never made with heroin as the amount of heroin required for any appreciable effect would be cost-ineffective.
Now, who knows what your 'molly' might contain. We just had two thirteen year-olds in the area die from 'research chemicals' ordered off the internet by a friend of theirs. People are taking all sorts of weird things that have undergone zero testing, even when compared to the embargo that MDMA has faced.
- celticninja 9y agoMolly is what we call magic here in the UK, powdered MDMA.
- senorjazz 9y agoNever ever heard of magic. Mandy, MD, madman. Never magic. Perhaps is a newer term? Or perhaps localised. Eitherway, is a nice term for it :)
- senorjazz 9y agoI saw a documentary recently (ish). "what's in your baggie". Molly seemed to be mostly methylone which comes under "bath salts" I think in the US. But seems to be a generic term for MDMA (like) drugs
- tuxidomasx 9y agoYup, there can be many mixed results from powder/crystal MDMA sold as "molly" that I can see why people go for pill presses much more since they are a bit more standardized in terms of reviews and experiences (e.g. pillreports). Much easier to have a consistent result when your presses come from a popular and widely-known batch. Unless you have a reagent test kit and want to do all that, it's best to have a trusted source or go for the presses IMO. That being said, my first experience was with MDMA in crystal form, and it was the greatest thing ever.
- vldx 9y agoPlease note, when given press gain significant popularity, it's common to be replicated by other "producers", and frequently the "counterfeit" pills are containing less desirable compounds. Always test what you're about to take, irrespective of the vendor/pill reputation -- reagent tests are cheap and available even via Amazon Prime.
- celticninja 9y agoYup back in the day Mitsubishi pills were the new standard in purity, then every pill became a Mitsubishi.
