Molly and Banking
So recently I have been reading a lot about "Molly" street name for MDMA due to the endless amount of articles that have been pouring out of our media outlets. The majority of the articles say that"Molly has been gaining popularity among teens!
What do you guys think this will do to Americas youth?
Do these kind of hard drugs have any effect on someones professional motivation?
Drugs like these don't stay in your system very long whats to stop kids from continuing these habits while working?
What will drugs like these do to America's youth? Silly question. It's been around for a while...you're looking at it. The world hasn't ended, don't expect it to. Drugs have been on Wall Street for decades now. I don't think anything is going to change much from where it's at now.
Professional motivation? Yeah sure it might make you way too excited to go into work that day, that's for sure. Like anything, if you can't control yourself, it will get the best of you. And also like anything else, you really shouldn't be doing it during work. Aside from the potential negative physical effects, its not going to help you get your work done any quicker. It might just make it suck less, maybe.
From the people I know that have fallen into that lifestyle... I'd say anything finance related and molly don't mix. That shit turns your brain into mush. I think cocaine will remain the hard drug of choice for Wall Street types.
Motivation is motivation. Some people have it and others don't. How can you tell the difference? Some kid who spends a few weekends getting fucked up will go, "shit, I better cut this out for now." Some other kid will say, "just one more weekend." That's the difference.
I know pretty much nothing about MDMA, but pretty sure this is complete and utter bullshit/D.A.R.E. style fear mongering.
This is anecdotal evidence I am using and I am by no means an expert on this, but this is what I have observed from personal experiences.
People that do too much molly just aren't that sharp. Their memory is complete shit, it takes them way longer than it should to figure out how much a 20% tip is, they bounce around from dead end job to dead end job, and pretty much have zero ambition to do anything other than make enough money to rave hard this weekend. Staring at pretty lights for hours on end and repeatedly touching nearby objects is also a nice touch.
People that do much cocaine still seem like they can function in a corporate environment. They might have some delusions of grandeur but for the most part they seem on point and don't get distracted by pretty lights. From what I've seen they also seem to be more capable of holding down high paying jobs (even if some of them are sleazy coke head stockbrokers).
I'm not endorsing the use of either drug but I simply can not see someone who does a lot of molly functioning well anywhere in the corporate world. IMO, molly is not going to dethrone cocaine as the hard drug of choice on Wall Street.
Yeah, pretty much. There's a lot of positive research on MDMA's effects in a clinical setting. But given that it's EVERYWHERE now, there are at least a few thing worth mentioning:
The stuff a lot of people buy isn't even MDMA. It's really dangerous to buy it at a concert or festival since you really don't know what you're getting. I remember reading that only 20% of "molly" seized at Ultra this year even contained MDMA.
People take too much. Heroic doses of half a gram+ in a night is ridiculous.
Doing it too frequently. MDMA messes with serotonin receptors. Apparently one dose every few months is safe, but people do it back to back nights, or every weekend. THAT messes with you and is probably the closest thing to "turning your brain to mush". Memory loss, mood problems, depression, anxiety, etc.
@hook on leaps thats what I was thinking not sure how someone could be rolling every weekend and still be able to be a successful in high finance
If you are a senior banker you can expect to find your analyst staring at the colorful bubbles bouncing around on his screen saver and/or petting his mouse that he put in his drawer to prevent himself from using it all while not turning your comments before the next client meeting. I actually think MDMA will topple the entire financial industry as it is really starting to catch on.

Okay can someone please put the toddlers back into the crib?
What a fucking stupid thread. And E has been around for a long ass time.
put a molly in her champagne...UOENO
Check out Krokadil.....now thats some stuff. My friend was telling me about it the other day and thought he was joking until I pulled up pictures of users. If you've never heard of it definitely worth a quick google
That's been around in Russia for a while as a cheap Heroin. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that it's not too common in finance.
Anyone else do it and say to themselves "wow.... I am disappointed." I was thoroughly unimpressed with the stuff. I'll try anything once, except maybe krokadil, and I put it on the same level of douchebaggery as slamming 4 locos and claiming to see jesus.
Just read an article that its made it to North America where its getting popular in Montreal. Hopefully it stays up there
Krokadil will never catch on in the US because codeine is not OTC here. The whole point is that it is a cheap and easy to obtain alternative to heroin - but that simply isn't the case in the US.
Right, because drugs were clearly nonexistent in the baby boomer generation? Maybe all of generation X and Y hallucinated the 70's and 80's during one of our drug infused DCF parties.
Between krokadil and that knock out game (all over the news in philly now) no faith left in humanity
1) Nothing coke/bth/meth haven't already done
2) If they do it regularly, it'll fuck with their brain. If you're just trying it or doing it a couple time a year, then no. In rare cases people with preexisting psych issues get fucked up by stuff like molly.
3) Nothing except for them not wanting to take it. Cocaine leaves your system real fast, what stopped young analysts from blowing coke in the 80s/90s.
It's another drug. Whoopdiefuckingdoo. 2 years ago it was bath salts "gaining popularity among teens" and 2 years before that it was huffing glue/aerosol/whatever and 15 years ago it was teens blowing coke and 40 years ago it was kids gasp smoking the reefer. People stop because they don't want to do it anymore, nothing stops someone from doing a drug other than that persons own decision to stop.
I don't pop Molly, I rock Tom Ford.
Cocaine is physically addictive. I don't believe that is the case for MDMA. Just thought I would throw that out there.
You people are nuts. Just do bumps in the bathroom like everyone else and stop making shit so complicated
