Q: What does "Molly" mean in reference to MDMA? IS it just a slang name or does it designate some special type or something? Thanks
A: "Molly" is short for "molecule" and is a slang term for MDMA that comes in the form of pure MDMA crystals or powder (as opposed to pills). It is chemically the same thing as any other MDMA, and there's nothing special about it - other than the fact that having it in pure form allows you to know for sure what you have and to measure out accurate doses.



It should be noted that anytime a slang term develops which is intended to be used for the purest for of a substance, it quickly becomes used for all forms of the substance as every dealer wants their product to sound as pure and high quality as possible.
