I have been in the public scene for a while now — I go to different types of parties: fetish public events, dungeon play parties, private events, etc.
One of the things that seems to always be present is the use of drugs at parties. You know it’s more prevalent when you witness two overdoses at the start of a party. Narcan is now a must-have in any DM kit. I am not just talking about people smoking weed.
But this post is not about that side of things.
A friend got a promoter’s attention in a very alarming way.
He received a call in front of me about an over-the-top, weird situation. A girl who drank from his cup had been spiked with GHB. That is alarming for several reasons. First — to everyone: why are you drinking from other people’s cups? That is very dangerous. Some people use GHB themselves, as a cheap way to get a buzz or a feeling.
But the issue goes further. That friend does not do drugs and had no idea why his drink was spiked — or why he was not affected. Before you ask: everything was on camera, but not whoever spiked the drink.
This raises more questions. Did someone try to add GHB to their own drink and mistake the glass? Or did someone try to spike my male friend’s glass? That would be a first.
Be aware — this has been an issue for over 15 years.
