Parents will also find that Molly is often glamourized by various other musical genres, like rap where the se of the drug is related to success and fun. It may seem that all of this is new, however much like the rise of ecstasy use in past years the rise of molly is simply the same story, but a different chapter so to speak.

The similarities to past drug crazes do not end with the rise in popularity or use. Parents need to keep in mind that with the rise in demand, as with past drugs, what is available will become less pure. Now the reason this is dangerous is that in order to meet the demand the suppliers of the drug are more likely to mix it with other substances, as was done with past drugs and Molly is no different. Drugs like Ecstasy are known to have been combined with various dangerous substances like caffeine, speed, ephedrine, and ketamine. Here in lies the greatest danger, the use of the drug itself is dangerous, however if a teens are in danger of partaking of synthetic copies designed to mimic the drug , or even an unknown substance labeled as Molly just to get the sale.

Parents Need to Speak with Their Teens Regarding The Consequences of Drug Use

Many teens are fooled by the Hip and safe sounding Molly; however the danger of this drug is real. Parents need to inform their child of the dangers involved before there are serious consequences × Consequences
n. noun con·se·quences The Merriam- Webster dictionary provides the following definitions for consequences: 1.the effect, result, or outcome of something occurring earlier: The accident was the consequence of reckless driving. 2.an act or instance of following something as an effect, result, or outcome. Consequences is a prevalent issue in the life of a troubled teen. Troubled adolescents who suffer from negative consequences, do so because of their poor decision making. Whatever choice a teenage boy or girl decides to make, a consequence of that decision will soon follow. If a teen chooses to make productive choices in life, he/she will reap the benefits of positive consequences. However, if a teen makes poor choices such as, abuse drugs and alcohol, skipping class, hanging out with the wrong crowd or disobeying parents and authority, that teen will reap negative consequences. Negative consequences such as, legal troubles, being grounded from parents, or getting kicked out of school due to inactivity or rebelliousness, are all viable and likely negative consequences a teen will experience if he or she is making poor choices.
