What is the Meaning of Molly Percocet?
Molly Percocet is a combination of two very powerful drugs, Molly a free powder or capsule containing methylenedioxy-n-methylamphetamine (MDMA) popularly known as ‘ecstasy’ a ‘psychoactive amphetamine’ widely used as a recreational drug because of its ability to produce euphoria, heightened sensations, strong feelings of comfort, increased empathy, more intense sexual experiences and connection to others and Percocet a prescription medicine used principally as a painkiller. It contains a combination of oxycodone (a semi-synthetic opiate) and acetaminophen (the active ingredient in Tylenol).
Percocet provides immediate relief for moderate to severe pain and lasts up to 5 hours. When taken together recreationally they are referred to as Molly Percocet referenced in rap artist’s Future’s hit 2017 song, “Mask Off.” the use of drugs of abuse in combination is common among recreational users and addicts.
Addicts and recreational drug users use Molly Percocet in a bid to create a pseudo-atmosphere of comfort and heightened sensation, masking whatever pain accompanies such delinquent actions with the Percocet component of the mixture. The are several unwanted consequences that accompany the use of these substances some of which could be life-threatening.
A study on poly drug abuse reported that the combination of a psychomotor stimulant with an opiate, known as a ‘speedball’, reportedly produces greater effects than either drug alone and has been responsible for numerous deaths. Historically, the most popular speedball combination is that of cocaine and heroin. However, with the growing popularity of methamphetamine in recent years, there has been increased use of this drug in combination with other drugs of abuse, including opiates. This public health dilemma is further worsened by the Molly Percocet song “Mask off” by Future which has become very popular especially among young adults complicating drug rehabilitation in the process.
