What is in Molly and why is it so dangerous? Dr. Julie Holland, an expert on designer drugs, and Brad Garrett, a former FBI agent, explain what you need to know about the popular club drug.
Katie Couric invites MDMA expert Dr. Julie Holland and former FBI agent Brad Garrett to clarify information about the emerging drug Molly, focusing on how it is not a pure version of MDMA while explaining the risks associated with taking an unknown substance from the streets. Holland explains the therapeutic value of MDMA, noting, “In its pure form, with a doctor supervising, you can give it to somebody. There’s a study with posttraumatic stress disorder where they’re giving MDMA to veterans.” Holland adds, “In that setting, it’s fairly safe, and there may even be some benefit.”
