spiking is a concerning reality that affects an increasing number of people. It consists of administering a psychoactive substance to a person without their knowledge in order to weaken and abuse them. GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyrate) is one of the most commonly used drugs for this purpose, but other substances such as benzodiazepines or "date rape" drugs can also be used.
The consequences of spiking can be serious:
- Loss of consciousness
- Inability to defend oneself
- Memory impairment
- Psychological trauma
- Sexual assault
How can you protect yourself?
There are several ways to protect yourself against spiking:
- Never leave your drink unattended
- Do not drink from a glass that has been left open
- Be wary of people you do not know
- Use an anti-spiking scrunchie or a drink cover
- Stay vigilant and raise awareness among those around you
The anti-spiking scrunchie and the drink cover are simple and effective tools to protect yourself against GHB and other drugs. They completely cover the opening of the glass, making it impossible for substances to be added without the person's knowledge.
Protect Your Glass is an initiative that aims to raise public awareness about spiking and offer concrete solutions for protection. We offer anti-spiking scrunchies and drink covers, as well as prevention advice.
The fight against spiking is a collective effort. By raising public awareness and adopting simple preventive measures, we can help protect vulnerable people and make our nights out safe and enjoyable.
