Finding Molly: The Most Popular Name in EDM

A really interesting op-ed on Molly from someone "on the inside". I highly suggest reading!



"In the wake of Electric Zoo being canceled on its final day due to some unfortunate drug overdoses, I thought it was time someone from within the music business spoke up. Unfortunately, most people in the music business are devoid of swirling, spherical sacks of awesome, tucked between their legs. However, since I officially left the music business last Tuesday, I have no qualms about airing my former dirty laundry. The business of Electronic Dance Music, colloquially known as EDM, has a huge problem. People are dropping dead like flies. The following essay isn't a smoking gun; it's a fucking nuclear onslaught.

First things first: MDMA and "Molly" are two different things. I know what MDMA is, because I can use Wikipedia. Molly is something wholly different - because the person consuming it never really knows what they are taking. In my lifetime, I have done Molly more times than I can count, and I have never taken the same drug twice. It's not like marijuana, cocaine, or psilocybin mushrooms, where you know what you're getting. At least if my blow has been stomped on by more Mexican drug dealers than the entire cast of "Breaking Bad," I'll know the worst I'm putting in my nose is baby formula, some Bayer, and then maybe a tiny bit of cocaine. We've all had a bag of shitty weed - and yeah, it might give you a headache, but it's not going to kill you.

Molly isn't like that."
