"I don't like the sound of this development, I don't like it one bit...."

Following a slew of media reports about the increase in drug-induced rapes, importer Benny Kalman has announced that the first consignments of the little cards that can detect the presence of date rape drugs GHB and Ketamine will arrive in the country as soon as next week.
"I saw the product a year and a half ago but was not interested in it as there were still no reports of date rape in Israel then," Kalman told The Jerusalem Post on Sunday. "Sadly, everything gets here eventually and a few weeks ago I realized that this problem was growing in Israel. It has really become a crisis in Israel with this rape drug."

According to Drink Safe Technologies literature, the Drink Spike Detector is the size of a credit card and can be easily kept in a pocket or wallet. It incorporates a technology that displays a visible color change when a drink spiked with GHB or Ketamine is tested.

How about this in the mean time:
Keep your drink in your hand. Don't leave it on the bar to dance or go to the bathroom. Always go out with a "wing man" and make sure that everyone leaves together.
Never drink anything you didn't open yourself.
That's a little tough for mixed drinks.
I've been around the block a couple of times, but didn't see the effects of the drug until last year. It was shocking to see.
You are right that the effects of this drug are shocking.
You are right that the effects of this drug are shocking.
In what way?
...and the value of a good "wing man" cannot be over-stated.
Every woman should have this. I had a friend that went into Cardiac arrest after drinking something with a date rape drug.
The on set is very sudden. Not like a regular drunk. It's completely immobilizing. The instance that I saw, the girl hit the ground very hard, as if someone clunked her on the head. After going out, she was paralyzed to the point of being unable to speak beyond a dim mumble, yet her eyes were open, responded to light, etc.
The medicos who responded knew what it was immediately.
But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you. Are you the sort of man who would put the poison into his own goblet, or his enemy's?
He studies the Man In Black now.
Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I'm not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool; you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
But because iocane comes from Australia, as everyone knows, and Australia is entirely peopled with criminals. And criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me. So I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.
But you must have suspected I would have known the powder's origin, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
You've beaten my giant, which means you're exceptionally strong. So, you could have put the poison in your own goblet, trusting on your strength to save you. So I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But, you've also bested my Spaniard which means you must have studied. And in studying, you must have learned that man is mortal so you would have put the poison as far from yourself as possible, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
I'm going to try this on my wife.
The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle; the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true! Right?
Right. But there's been a change: they broke the chalice from the palace!
They broke the chalice from the palace?
And replaced it with a flagon.
A flagon...?
With the figure of a dragon.
Flagon with a dragon.
Right.
But did you put the pellet with the poison in the vessel with the pestle?
No!!! The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon! The vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true!
The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon; the vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true.
Just remember that.
I would add that it was traumatic for me as well. I put the chick in a fireman's carry, but after 50 yards got so tired that I had to rest. Either I'm getting old or someone put something in my drink. I prefer to believe I was drugged.
You are very drunk very fast and your body is unable to metabolize it or get rid of it the way you would alcohol.
You are giddy, suggestible and (in the case I saw) very amorous.
Higher doses put you into a waking coma where you are awake but not able to do much under your own power.
You're trying to give away something . . . it won't work.
I'm sure it was with a rare tropical frog toxin!
Exactly! The next day it affected my back, neck and shoulders. That's proof I was drugged.
Get it?
Got it.
Good!
