Never take your eyes off your glass
Known as the “rapist drug”, GHB (psychotropic and nervous system depressant) is not the only drug used, other substances such as anxiolytics can be found in drinks. In order to limit the risks, we advise you never to let your glass out of your eyes and hands throughout the evening. Never leave your glass unattended and if you have any doubts regarding its contents, throw it away. Also be vigilant regarding drinks offered by strangers. To be sure of what you have in your drink, be at the bar when making your cocktail or even opening your soda. To be safe, move or dance with the hand that covers your entire glass. You can also obtain anti-drug glass protectors and take them with you when you go out.

Often odorless and colorless, it is sometimes difficult to spot this type of substance in glasses. However, a few clues may alert you. If you notice a change in your drink, a hazy haze or bubbles appearing, there are potentially drugs in your drink. If your ice cubes are no longer on the surface but are starting to sink, that’s also a bad sign. Some anti-GHB varnishes even make it possible to detect the drug, the varnish would then change color.
According to drogues info service, GHB is an intoxicating and amnestic product. “ The effects appear 15 to 20 minutes following absorption depending on the dosage. Urinalysis is the most reliable way to detect the presence of a drug. GHB is seen within 8 to 12 hours following ingestion“, we can read on the site.
