That Molly people take at music festivals? It often isn't what they assume: Volunteers for the nonprofit DanceSafe tested samples of pills or powder at gatherings throughout the United States between July 2010 and July 2015. They found that MDMA was present in only 60 percent of the 529 ostensible Molly samples collected. The others contained a mix of all sorts of other ingredients. Most of the chemicals couldn’t be identified through the tests at the sites. But 13 samples contained methamphetamine,a strong nervous system drug. And three samples even had a very potent form of
amphetamine known as PMA, which is more likely than many other drugs to kill with one dose.
The study also contained some well-known findings from a public policy perspective. After attendees at these events got the test results for their pills or powder, or they were asked whether they still intended to ingest them. With individuals whose drugs did contain MDMA,46 percent said they would go ahead and utilize them. That compared with 26 percent of people who were told their drugs did not contain MDMA.
Such testing programs are catching on in more countries. For the first time in Britain, the more than 200000 attendees at final year’s outdoor music festival Kendal Calling had access to a tent where their pills could be tested, or according to NPR. And Australia may conduct a trial at the Spilt Milk music dance event in December.
