Molly,
a form of Ecstasy, is being linked to multiple overdoses and deaths. Two deaths
were reported due to the use of Molly
at a New York City dance festival this weekend, forcing the event to end
early.

The
event was shut down after the deaths of two young people. Police are reporting
that 20-year-old Olivia Rotondo and 23-year-old Jeffery Russ died after taking Molly.
Four others are in critical condition. Molly, short for
molecule, is supposed to be the purest form of MDMA, the main ingredient
in Ecstasy.

ABC
reports that , “It raises your body temperature, your heart rate goes up, your
blood pressure goes up, and so it make you more prone to heat stroke.”

Molly
has been popping up more frequently , especially in music. At a concert last
year, Madonna was caught on tape asking the crowd, “How many of you have seen Molly?”
although she later said she was referring to a friend’s song. Additionally, hit
songs from artists, including Kanye West and Miley Cyrus, reference the drug.

Officials
warn that despite the innocent sounding name, Molly is a
dangerous drug. “It could have other amphetamines in it, which cause the
overdose.
Some
law enforcement officials also said Molly is
so dangerous because the people who take it tend to be recreational users and
so they are more naïve about its dangers.
