Medical Definition of Molly
: the illicit drug ecstasy especially when in a powdered or crystalline form contained in a capsule
Experts say Molly, though often touted as pure, is often mixed with other drugs and ingredients, perhaps even more than the Ecstasy of yesteryear.— Helena Oliveiro, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, 8 June 2013
