When you’re pilled up off your face at a rave and loving life, it’s easy to forget the life-changing effects that pill could have on you, whether because it came from a bad batch or because your brain and body didn’t agree with it for whatever reason.

16 year old Amy Thomson from Scotland spent weeks in a coma after collapsing at a house party where she’d taken “one capsule of crystal MDMA”. We’re guessing there was more than just MDMA in that capsule.

Fortunately she came out of the coma, but was left brain-damaged and in a wheelchair.

Her family decided to share this brief clip on Facebook to not only show how far Amy has come in her recovery, but also to serve as a reminder that this kind of thing can and will happen:

Her cousin Kayla added:

Some people may have cried, laughed or been shocked seeing the video. But this is what a tiny pill can do to you.

If this isn’t an eye opener for everyone who continues to take stuff, I dunno what is!

There’s good news too though:

Amy won’t be like this for the rest of her life. She’s getting the best care and support. What you are seeing is amazing compared to the way she was a few weeks ago. She’s improved in many amazing ways. She still has many improvements to show us all.

Who knows – she might even make a full recovery. Definitely seems like she’s got the right attitude about it. Here’s hoping anyway.

In the meantime, someone do those girls from MTV’s Hooked On Molly a favour and send them this clip ASAP.
