DRUG ABUSE – MDMA

The Snohomish Regional Drug and Gang Task Force (SRDGTF) has put out an alert on MDMA, also known as Ecstasy. The SRDGTF notes that Ecstasy abuse and trafficking is on the rise in our area. Ecstasy usually has been found only in major metropolitan areas; however, it is expanding to smaller communities.

Ecstasy is taken orally via a tablet or capsule. As a capsule it is referred to as Molly. The drug lasts about 3 to 6 hours. Users sometimes take a second dose as the drug begins to fade from the first dose. Ecstasy often is taken with other drugs such as cocaine, GHB, methamphetamine, ketamine, and Viagra.
