A new drug of choice, especially for teens and college kids, is becoming an epidemic on some Pennsylvania campuses.
The drug is called Molly, and many parents don't know what the term means.
Police say Molly, is the powder form of the pill ecstasy.
But parents we talked to,like Terry, say they've heard of it, but don't know what it is. "I heard about Molly, but i'm not sure all the details."
Stars like Madonna have mentioned the term on stage, and hip hop stars like Nicki Minaj rap about it.
The drug can be inhaled, eaten or parachuted, which is when it's folded into a tissue and swallowed.
The drug has many negative effects on the body, including confusion, anxiety, depression, paranoia, sleep problems, muscle tension, tremors, involuntary teeth clenching, muscle cramps, nausea, faintness, chills , sweating and blurred vision.
George Geisler, with the PA DUI Association, says there can be serious consequences with this drug. "The heart is trying to pump more blood through the vascular system and often times the hearts are blown out. Just like a car tire at 90 mph. It's fatal."
Harrisburg police say that Dauphin County and City Police have had Mollies sold in their jurisdiction for some time and have made several arrests on individuals that have sold and possessed Mollies.
Police say the drug is usually sold at venues where ecstasy is sold.
Some other signs to look for, which could indicate your kid may be using Molly, are :enlarged pupils, weightloss or if they're visibly shaking , that could be a sign as well.
