Is Molly a stimulant, it's basically super ecstasy right?

Ecstasy is the term that was used forever for the drug known as MDMA. An ecstasy pill generally contained MDMA and some other fillers; i.e. Caffeine, pill binder, low grade speed, etc.

Molly is the term that was given for pure MDMA powder and became popular maybe like 5 years ago. Generally found in capsules or powder.

My understanding is pills have made a comeback lately... They took a pill btw. I've done Molly a few times and it was never as strong as some of the E pills I took back in the early 2000s.

Edit- and to answer your original question, the A in MDMA is amphetamine, so yes its a stimulant, although the effects are quite different from speed.
