OMG, that is the gif of the year. And so wrong...

Pretty sure its an attempt to find the gif of the year. It's entertaining when real information is not coming in, but now I can't stop refreshing the page lol.

Ohhhh. I thought they were trying to get my phone to catch on fire.....

Molly and such

Molly and such

Will someone bring me up to speed. Why is weed now called 'Molly'? I thought if it was personified, it was 'Mary Jane'? My God I must be getting old.

Regardless, cheesing is where it's at:

Haha, I was trying to figure out who was Molly.

Lol, you quoted me before I could change my GIF. I thought it was a little disgusting so I went with a lighter Cheesing reference. Still not sure what 'Molly' is. I will go ask the hip kids at the skate park.

The effects of MDMA on the human brain and body are complex. It induces serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine release, and can act directly on a number of receptors, including α2-adrenergic (adrenaline) and 5HT2A(serotonin) receptors. (DHEA), and the antidiuretic hormone vasopressin (which may be important in its occasional production of water intoxication or hyponatremia).

It's not fully understood why MDMA induces these unusual psychoactive effects. Most explanations focus on serotonin release. MDMA causes serotonin vesicles in the neurons to release quantities of serotonin into the synapses. Studies using pretreatment with an SSRI to block the ability of MDMA to release serotonin in volunteers suggest serotonin release is necessary for most effects of MDMA in humans. Released serotonin is believed to stimulate several receptors that contribute to the experiential effects of MDMA. Laboratory rodent experiments have shown MDMA to activate oxytocin-containing neurons in the hypothalamus by stimulating 5-HT1A receptors. This appears to contribute to some of the social effects of MDMA: upon administering a drug that blocked brain receptors for oxytocin, the effects of the drug on social behavior were reduced. A second serotonin receptor, 5-HT2A receptors (which are important for the effects of hallucinogens), makes mild contributions to MDMA effects. When the receptor was blocked, volunteers given MDMA reported decreases in MDMA-induced perceptual changes, emotional excitation, and acute adverse responses. In contrast, blocking these 5-HT2A receptors had little effect on MDMA-induced positive mood, well-being, extroversion, and most short-term sequelae. One possible explanation for some of these 5-HTA-mediated effects is that 5-HT2A stimulation inhibits dopamine release.

Although serotonin is important to the effects of MDMA, other drugs that release serotonin, such as fenfluramine, do not have effects like MDMA. This indicates that other neurochemical systems must be important for the MDMA experience. In addition to serotonin, dopamine and noradrenaline may play important roles in producing MDMA effects. The dopaminergic D2 receptor antagonist haloperidol selectively reduced the euphoric effects of MDMA in volunteers while increasing feelings of anxiety. Although not yet examined in humans, several studies in rodents, indicate the noradrenergic mechanisms contribute to the stimulating effects of MDMA. Finally, currently unexplored effects of MDMA may turn out to be important, such as trace amine receptors.

The effects of MDMA on regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) have been studied in humans using [H215O]-Positron Emission Tomography (PET) MDMA was found to produce alteration of brain activity in cortical, limbic, and paralimbic structures. The dose of MDMA, 1.7 mg/kg, was psychoactive and participants reported heightened mood, increased extroversion, feelings of altered reality, and mild perceptual alterations. Feelings of "extroversion" correlated with CBF in the temporal cortex, amygdala, and orbitofrontal cortex.

Also, serious adverse events in MDMA users may be an interaction of the drug with a preexisting medical condition. Risk of adverse event after MDMA consumption is thought to be increased by preexisting cardiovascular problems, such as cardiomyopathy, hypertension, viral myocarditis, and congenital cardiac conduction abnormalities (such as Wolff–Parkinson–White, Romano–Ward, Brugada, and Jervell and Lange–Nielsen Syndromes).

Serious adverse events in MDMA users may also be caused by drugs sold as "ecstasy", but which are not actually MDMA. Dangerous overheating, sometimes fatal, is associated with drugs such as PMA or 4-MTA. To help mitigate risks associated with the consumption of MDMA, certain organizations have created screening test kits to prevent the consumption of more harmful substances such as PMA, Methamphetamine, 2C analogs, BZP and TFMPP.

Makes you wonder about other news related stories, doesn't it?

Molly is a form of ecstasy that is purer than ecstasy. It doesn't have any (or much) speed in it. It's commonly known for being done by college kids at concerts or parties. It's not generally considered to be a big deal. It's not a "hard" drug.

A kid dealing drugs is always a big deal though. You gotta be kind of stupid/reckless to do that.

My point, before I get lableled the bad oldguy turdfragrance buzzkill, is that it isn't the drug, it is the people. I would trust you to handle yourself, (you know who I am talking about), but there are some without a clue. And then there is dosage . . . And finally, some of these refined chemicals are showing up like cardiac, and pulmonary events and disease in young folks. I don't know if I said that right; but I do mean what I say out of love.

See, when you have been around the block a few times, (let alone put a few Daytona 500's on the odometer) you begin to value what you have more and more. It is okay to risk everything every day, but for what? And at what odds, for what payout?

That was a lot better than the "This is your brain...This is your brain on drugs..." campaign which always made me have the munchies for eggs sunnyside up.

I wondered why seeing Nancy Reagan always made me want to pound a can of pringles with chocolate sauce and whipped cream.

I see. I had few one night stands with Molly(3 I think). In my experience, it is only worth it in a rave or some electric music event. We used to simply call it MDMA.

Isn't there a fairly new rap song called "Molly" that has a line in it about the Golden Dome and having his ND green?

did he pop one, if he did was he sweating?

I mean the tweets were really bad. But dude was dealing drugs. I bet tweets like Yuri's are said in private between some players now and then. But no one is dealing drugs, and Molly for that matter.

I should premise by saying IDK anything about 'Molly', but someone posted that it's barely considered a drug because the 'cocaine' is taken out of it? And he was allegedly dealing drugs, but it's not like he was 'Heisenberg'. I'm guessing it was a small amount traded with friends, and in this case size does matter.

Our culture, IMO, is trending towards the acceptance of lighter drugs, while gay slurs, the 'N' word, and derogatory comments towards woman are becoming less and less accepted. I think the University's took this into consideration for Yuri, and like I said, Starks has time on his hands with a full school year to stay clean.

IMO, it takes a bigger idiot to post such nasty stuff on social media than to trade 'lighter' drugs between friends, and I think the Universities will take this into consideration.

Not sure I totally agree with all of this, but I do agree that the circumstances matter here. Was Starks the "the guy who could get molly" at his school? Was he regularly supplying other students with it? Or are we dealing with a one-off situation where, say, he bought a small amount for him and his friends to use at a concert, a couple of his friends didn't show, so he sold the leftovers to a classmate, and the school got wind of it? If it's the former, I think it goes without saying that we should discontinue his recruitment. If it's the latter, I'm not sure ... does that go in the dumb-mistakes-good-kids-sometimes-make category? Maybe it doesn't matter.

But then there's the iPad theft too ... no way to spin that one, if it's true.

Ok I mean people can have different opinions on Molly, but it's a hard drug. It is pure-cut MDMA. Have had first-hand experiences with it multiple times (not saying I've done it). I can tell you that dealing Molly is not gaining public acceptance. But agree to disagree.

On a side note, I saw a tweet below Starks that might indicate he's getting a "second chance?"

My mistake, like I said I know nothing about 'Molly' but someone who does on here made is sound like it's barely a drug because the 'speed is taken out of it'. I didn't go to drug school, lol.

 

[GBdomer]

Molly is taken over the world

 

[aubeirish]

MDMA is not that bad to use maybe once a year. It's a bad drug to be addicted to though. Really tough on the liver and kidneys. That being said, dealing drugs is dealing drugs assuming that is the fault. That surely puts Notre Dame out of the equation.
Anyways, hope he grows from this situation and become a better man. Let's see what happens.

 

[JughedJones]

It's hilarious reading a bunch of IE posters talking about molly.

Definitely not your guys' wheelhouse.

(Not that it's a bad thing, just funny and awkward)

It's like my grandparents trying to tell their friends about the Twitter machine.
