Among 49 undergraduate volunteers, self-reported Ecstasy use closely matched MDMA traces found in hair samples. Both self-report and hair analysis predicted lower happiness and higher stress ratings. Self-reported use, but not hair analysis, was also linked to lower tension. The findings suggest the Internet can effectively complement traditional laboratory studies on recreational drug effects.
