Question:

Can you tell if someone uses XTC/Extacy?

Answer:

The use of XTC can result in the following symptoms: depression, fear and sleeping disorders, but these problems can also be caused by other conditions or substances. Besides, often they are hardly perceptible. In fact, only an honest conversation can make clear if someone uses XTC or not. It is important not to judge the use of XTC in advance; it can make the conversation impossible.

In urine samples, XTC can be detected for up to 72 hours.

By testing hair samples, use of XTC can be detected for as long as the hair has been growing.
