UMass Medical School toxicologist Richard J. Church, MD, explained the dangers of the club drug “Molly” in stories in the Telegram & Gazette and on Worcester News Tonight/Cable TV3.
"Molly isn't the Molly that you thought she was," Dr. Church told the Telegram in the Sept. 6 edition. "In the '90s when you were sold X, it was X and you could trust your drug dealer, so to speak. The term Molly is like a Trojan horse. It could be just about anything."
Church, assistant professor of emergency medicine, was commenting in response to a spate of overdoses linked to the allegedly pure form of Ecstasy in recent days, including three deaths. He said it’s particularly dangerous because the drug being sold on the streets could be made up of any combination of drugs and household ingredients.
