8. Molly (Mandy)
Molly and Mandy are not just names belonging to some girls, these are the street names of a drug called MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine). MDMA is found in Ecstasy, but Molly is the purest form of MDMA, meaning that it has far worse effects compared to ecstasy because an overdose of Molly is responsible for several deaths. The most common side effects of the drug include dehydration and hyperthermia, which if not treated can lead to death. A person who has taken this drug will feel the need to drink a lot of water, and this can be dangerous because the MDMA increases the body’s water retention and can lead to hypervolemia. Hypervolemia, is an overload of water in the blood, and can result in dilutional hyponatremia and hypertension, which can cause seizures or a stroke.
