Abstract
There has been a recent increase in public awareness of the drug 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), commonly known as Ecstasy. A purified version of this drug, known as “Molly”, is perceived by users to be safer than other illicit drugs, as it is expected to be free of toxic adulterants. This article reviews the clinical effects and toxicity associated with MDMA, as well as data on the purity of Molly and Ecstasy.
