It is made from the essential oils (safrole or Camphor) from the roots of trees found in Asia. The fastest way to make Molly is using the chemical mdp2p. That will make a dose of Molly in 12 hours.
HOW DOES MOLLY IMPACT SENSATION & PERCEPTION?
Sensation and perception are the two biggest factors affected by the drug Molly. When you do Molly it starts by entering the nuerotransmitters located in your brain to release large amounts of the three acting nuerotransmitters: Serotonin, Dopamine, & Norepinephrine. These will influence your mood drastically, giving you what they call a sense of "euphoria" stated earlier. The Serotonin in your body also releases to large amounts of hormones: oxytocin & vasopressin which plays an important role in the perception and sensation you will feel towards love, trust, sexual arousal, and other social experiences.
