The drug "molly" is similar to ecstasy. It comes in the form of powder or a pill. Doctors say it can increase heart rate, blood pressure and raise a person's body temperature like it did to Megan Pacheco. The teen died after taking the drug which had traces of opiates, heroin, morphine and other substances.
