Why it is useful to have your XTC pills tested.

Are you planning to use drugs for the first time, or have you done this before and want to do it more safely? In this blog, I discuss the importance of having your drugs tested and how you can easily do this.

Why should you have your pills tested?

XTC pills are hard drugs and illegal. They are not pre-checked by authorities for potentially dangerous substances or incorrect additives, as is done for example with medicines. You probably buy your pills through connections or from a dealer. Usually, you have no idea how this person obtained their stock and how they were produced. As a result, there may be incorrect substance(s) inside or a certain substance may be present in too large an amount. You obviously want to avoid this. Additionally, testing your pills gives a safe feeling if you are going to use XTC once. This can make you feel more comfortable during your trip. Ideal!

How can I have my pills tested?

Drugs-Test is a website with all information about test services and their contact details. On this website, you will find numerous institutions such as GGD Amsterdam, Jellinek, and VNN ready to test your pills for you. This test service is not only for pills but also for other types of drugs like cocaine, speed, ketamine, GHB, and LSD.

A test service can test your pills completely anonymously and for free, provide information about use, and mention the risks of a certain type of drug. VNN, a specialist in addiction care, has conducted two interviews with people who had their pills tested at their test service. To get a better feeling about testing your pills, I would recommend reading these two interviews at your leisure.
