Known as ecstasy, microdose molly is a feel-good drug often used recreationally by ravers and club kids. It acts as a stimulant and hallucinogen, producing feelings of euphoria and distortions in time and perception. It’s typically swallowed, but it can also be snorted or smoked. Side effects include heightened sexual energy, nausea, chills, muscle tension, jaw clenching, tremors, sweating, dehydration, paranoia, and anxiety.

People have been using psychedelic drugs like LSD and psilocybin for decades to improve mood, boost focus and creativity, and explore their emotional world. Increasingly, people are turning to microdoses of MDMA—which is technically an amphetamine—to address a wide range of issues, including depression and anxiety.

MDMA Gummies: Legalities, Risks, and Benefits

The science on microdosing is inconclusive, but many users report positive effects. Some claim that MDMA elevates their mood and reduces depression symptoms, and some say it increases empathy and connection with others. Others believe that it helps them process traumatic events and unresolved emotions. Some even say that it improves focus and problem-solving abilities.

It’s important to note that, unlike prescription drugs, MDMA is made in unregulated labs and often contains other ingredients that can cause dangerous or even life-threatening interactions. In addition, long-term use of MDMA can lead to tolerance and addiction. It’s also a schedule I drug, which means that it’s illegal to possess and sell. And, even if it were legal to buy, law enforcement would still arrest you if you’re caught with it outside of a medical or research setting.
