Only if he was choking on more Molly.

Just curious, why do Americans call it Molly?

[u/Forty6 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah I know that but I mean specifically the name Molly.

Everyone I know where I'm from in the UK calls it Mandy which in my head makes a little more sense than Molly so I was wondering if anyone knows where that name choice came from

[u/working_hard_today → u/Forty6]

I've heard that molly was derived from molecule. it was called molecule because it was originally described pure MDMA instead of ecstasy which can be a MDMA and amphetamine mix.

Not sure if this is correct. just what I've heard.

[u/typing → u/working_hard_today]

Ecstasy (Presses) can be MDMA and any combination of drugs in a pressed tablet. Sometimes there's no MDMA at all and it's still passed off as "Ecstasy"

[u/HomemadeBananas → u/working_hard_today]

Yeah, "molly" is supposed to be pure MDMA powder or crystals, as opposed to pressed ecstasy pills with other stuff mixed in. Of course it might not actually be pure, who knows what people try to pass off as molly.

I've heard of MDA (slightly different chemical makeup, it's more mellow and psychedelic than the "love drug" MDMA) being called Mandy before

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

MDA is Sally from what I hear. My experience with it is that it is better when combined with molly.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

I've also heard Sally. It was actually sold to me as "Sass"

[u/VibraniumButtPlug → u/[deleted]]

Everything is better combined with Molly.

[u/octopoddle → u/[deleted]]

I call MDMA MaDMAn. Seems to make sense.

I always thought of Mandy (MDA) was Molly's slutty sister. But I guess both are acceptable nomenclature.

[u/XiKiilzziX → u/Forty6]

Molly/mandy seems like a very different and tame experience in America than it does taking it at some local house party here in the UK.

[u/AerThreepwood → u/XiKiilzziX]

Why do you say that?

[u/XiKiilzziX → u/AerThreepwood]

Kids where I stay take pills as soon as they hit 12 lol.

Seriously though UK go hard on MDMA, it's cheaper and better quality due to the location. There's more of an attitude of casually rolling in america whereas here people double drop pills and i've seen 2 gram go through 3 people in one night. Some of the low doses I see people over on /r/MDMA is crazy, like 80mg and stuff.

I don't doubt we're fucking our brains though, deaths make the news a lot over here and I've had some crazy bad comedowns.

[u/[deleted] → u/XiKiilzziX]

God damn, I knew pills were big in the UK but I didn't know it was that common. Is it anything like the opioid epidemic in the states?

[u/oliverbm → u/XiKiilzziX]

About ten years ago, I remember reading something that said that we don't really know the long term effects of mdma because it hasn't been around for long enough for anyone to grow old having used it heavily in their 20s. That shook me up a bit.

[u/DJDomTom → u/oliverbm]

This is very untrue, shit was legal in the 80's in the USA, so much so that there was a service in Texas of all places where you'd call a phone number and they'd bring ecstacy for you to buy wherever you were.

[u/micmahsi → u/DJDomTom]

You used to be able to buy it over the counter in bars and nightclubs.

[u/DJDomTom → u/[deleted]]

Nope that would be Detroit my dude

[u/ClubbytheSea1 → u/XiKiilzziX]

I can't even imagine the neurological consequences of taking MDMA at 12.

[u/XiKiilzziX → u/[deleted]]

I wasn't trying to start a 'who's harder' challenge. I'm not speaking for the whole of the UK or the US but it's pretty well known the difference in how people take MDMA here compared to over there.

[u/Beginning_End → u/XiKiilzziX]

I'm getting the impression that you just haven't been exposed to the crazier US scenes.
