UMMS toxicologist explains dangers of 'Molly' club drug

UMass Medical School toxicologist Richard J. Church, MD, has a simple warning for young party-goers who may think the club drug "Molly," an allegedly pure form of Ecstasy, is safe. "Don't trust your drug dealer," said Dr. Church, assistant professor of emergency medicine. "The individuals that are using these products need to be aware that Molly is not the Molly they thought it was. It is not pure. It's thought to be a co-formulation of multiple different adulterants which could range anywhere from caffeine to talcum powder to cocaine to other amphetamine substances.
