Dealers' deadly trick: selling bath salts as Molly

Dealers’ deadly trick: selling bath salts as Molly nypost.com
New York club kids who use the party drug Molly because they think it’s pure ecstasy are often being peddled deadly “bath salts” by ruthless dealers, the DEA told The Post.
The dangerous narcotic — which causes a violent, meth-like high — has killed at least one reveler this year and is being eyed in the deaths of two partiers at the Electric Zoo festival on Randall’s Island two weeks ago.
“Kids think ‘Molly’ is a pure, safe ecstasy, but it’s not,” said DEA Special Agent Erin Mulvey. “It’s not pure, it’s not safe and it’s not even ecstasy.”
Known to drug regulators as methylone — and exported in bulk from China — the salts caused the agonizing death of Matthew Rybarczyk, 20, of Staten Island, after a June 15 rave on Governors Island.
“There were bags and bags pumping things into him, and the blood was coming out of his mouth, his nose,” Peggy Rybarczyk remembered yesterday of watching her grandson die slowly in his hospital bed.
The two young people who died at the Electric Zoo music fest — recent Syracuse University grad Jeffrey Russ, 23, and University of New Hampshire student Olivia Rotondo, 20 — may have also ingested the salts, though toxicology results are pending, sources told The Post.
Two others who were stricken at the festival admitted to drug use — also believed to be a substance resembling bath salts, sources told The Post.
Bath salts, which can be swallowed, snorted, injected or dissolved in water, has a similarly euphoric effect as ecstasy — but can also cause psychotic symptoms like agitation, paranoia and hallucinations. The drug is federally banned from sale in stores but is widely available on the Internet.
It has yet to be declared a controlled substance under state law, which has greatly hampered prosecution efforts.
“We’re seeing a proliferation of it,” citywide Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget Brennan told The Post. “We urgently need a law that would allow us to prosecute the sale of this deadly substance.”
A bill criminalizing the drug has sat since June 19 in the state Senate majority office, awaiting forwarding to the desk of Gov. Cuomo, who has said he’ll sign it.
“I think it’s absolutely horrible,” Rybarczyk said. “These drugs are killing our children.”
Since the Electric Zoo overdoses, the NYPD has made club drugs a priority.
In a recent Harlem bust, cops seized 40 grams of ecstasy and four firearms — including a submachine gun.

What?! It's already federally illegal. Also, methylone isn't bad, and I would not consider it a "bath salt".

the title of the article gave me some hope that it might not just be 100% bullshit, but I should've known better.

sounds close enough to me, i think what they meant was
“Kids think ‘Molly’ is a pure, safe mdma, but it’s not,” said DEA Special Agent Erin Mulvey. “It’s not pure, it’s not safe and it’s not even mdma.”

What I cant stand is that these articles are doing the same thing they are warning against. DONT DO MOLLY ITS NOT PURE, but then they talk about BATHSALTS as if its some compound. Lets throw words around like they mean something.

Well, what I was getting at is that people may try to sell things as molly when it isn't, but it doesn't mean molly isn't molly.
it would be like people selling hamburgers as hotdogs and the news saying that hotdogs weren't really hotdogs anymore

I found 8 caps of white powder on the ground at a music festival and threw them away in a portable toilet, my friends all got pissed off at me because they wanted to take them instead. 
I was like there's no way in hell I'm letting you take these, we didn't even have test kits with us.

Didn't they sell these analogs as "Molly" way before it was bath salts? Maybe not before it was "plant food"? Of course the casting DEA gives this friendly warning *cough* scare tactic *cough*. Stupid DEA

Exactly. Saying "These ruthless evil dealers are pushing (slang term 1) as (slang term 2)" is just stupid. That's like saying, "These murderous potheads who sell your kids what they claim is pot is actually weed".

Oh, they just caught onto this crap? Around here the pink rocks being called molly is methylone, as far as I know. They say its "M1" which I've never heard referenced before, but they sell it as "Molly", MDMA. Just gets you speeded out and up forever doses they're taking it in. They'll usually call them moonrocks, since its a pink crystally formation. I got to listen to a few people selling it as such laugh about these kids at Electric Zoo. Its a fucking shame, weed dealers, tell you theyre selling you weed, and you get weed. And you can't OD on weed. And alot of these RCs turn black on a test kit. People don't know what Molly on a test kit is supposed to look like. *SMFH*

i think they are pushing for a blanket legislation that makes everything illegal... any unknown substance used as an intoxicant is a "bath salt"
welcome to the police state... man.

Yeah, I hate how every unknown substance is dubbed "bath salts"... it's even worse that the general public may actually idiotically believe these are the same bath salts that you use to scent your bath.

You do not see that they put "Molly" in quotes? They are not talking about Molly but rather "Molly" which is what those kids bought. Like the waiter will bring you out a "hamburger", with a wink, which means he is really bringing you a hot-dog.

Seems it's the same drug education we got in school. It only takes one drop off bullshit and every belief is thrown out the window. Seems everyone needs some truthful books and a mass spec at home these days.........but the man would probably call that some sort of lab?
