Have you heard of Molly?

It is the street drug of choice, after pot, for many teens. It is MDMA, and is a form of ecstasy that is widely free of adulterants. It can also be deadly.

Seventeen-year-old Taylor Snider had a very close call with Molly and she decided to share her story on Facebook as a warning to other young people.

Taylor, who goes to school in Puerto Vallarta but grew up in White Rock, said a few months ago she and her friends were curious about Molly and decided to try it.

Four of them decided to take it at a concert they were going to.

“About an hour after I took the pill, I just took one pill, so after I took that pill I started throwing up and throwing up all night and then one of the girls said ‘oh no this is completely normal, this happens all the time’,” said Taylor on Unfiltered with Jill Krop.

But she continued to throw up all night and then in the morning she had a seizure.

Her brother then took her to her mom’s house and then to hospital.

She was in a coma for 46 hours but she would flail around from time to time.

“I was really pissed off, for lack of a better word,” said Taylor’s dad Dave, “and really angry at what was going on.”

“Before that I didn’t even know what Molly was.”

Taylor said she doesn’t remember anything but wanted to share how scary the experience was for her. So she decided to post it on Facebook, and the post has been shared more than 47,000 times.
