Hi,

You should be fine as the ecstasy would mostly be out of your system by then. The half life of ecstasy is estimated to be 16-31 hours. At 12 days, more than 8 half lives would have passed and the dose would mostly be metabolized and excreted from your body by then. As usual, a doctor's advice would be to not use MDMA in the future as you don't know what is actually in the pill.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Timothy Wong, General & Family Physician
