Donald Trump Shaped Ecstasy Pills Are All The Rage In The UK

The conversation behind the drug methylenedioxymethamphetamine aka MDMA aka Molly has shifted over the past year from a drug primarily used at Aviici concerts by rebellious youngsters to a drug that can be effectively administered to soldiers suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and low dosage actually enhances emotional empathy. That may be why it’s referred to as the ‘love drug.’

But, like all substances, misuse or overdosing at recreational events has given Molly a dangerous reputation. That hasn’t stopped rappers from lauding its euphoric effects, pushing the drug into the mainstream.

Take the UK for example. Ecstasy pills are flooding the UK drug market, and the recent surge of pills have been moulded and pressing into the shape of Donald Trump’s head.

According to Daily Star, the pills are available in orange and pink and laced with 220mg of MDMA. They are being sold in bulk for £180 ($234) for 100, just over $2 a pop. Which may be the cheapest high on the market.

They are reportedly advertised on encrypted “dark web” drug markets but also bought at source from UK dealers in Holland. One seller promises:

“Very nice press, really detailed. Comes in the actual shape of the head of the president of the USA.”

Another offers 1,000 of the pills for £1,200 with the catchline: “Trump makes partying great again.”

“These pills will blow your head off.”

The biggest danger with pressed pills in any form is that the consumer has no idea what he’s actually taking. That has led to several deaths by shady dealers who have falsely advertised their product to be something its not in the spirit of profit. The drug game is a trick or treat business.

The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
