• The gendarmes of the Oise warn about an upsurge in the victims of the GHB.

  • This "rapist drug" is a diversion of a treatment for narcolepsy.

  • This phenomenon is also observed elsewhere in Europe, such as in Belgium.

Concerns in the night world.

The gendarmerie of the Oise has just launched an alert about the rise of a worrying phenomenon: the increase in the number of cases of people drugged without their knowledge in GHB in the night establishments of the department.

An observation far from being limited to this territory.

The emergence of GHB is not new, but its use for malicious purposes seems to be gaining ground in recent times.

This substance is originally a drug used in the treatment of narcolepsy for its "sedative and amnesic properties," describes the drug info service website.

Diverted from its medical use, GHB is nicknamed "rapist's drug" for the absences it causes in victims.

"When you wake up, you don't remember anything, it's the black hole"

“We are facing a phenomenon that continues to intensify in nightclubs, bars and other parties. Indeed, more and more people are being drugged without their knowledge ”, warns the gendarmerie of Oise. Once the substance has been ingested, “the aggressors wait for the effects to take effect in order to benefit their victim. When you wake up, you don't remember anything, it's the black hole, ”they add.

On social networks, the testimonies of people who have been confronted with GHB are multiplying, especially in Lille.

Once again, it is the Masséna-Solférino district that is singled out.

"Addicted to GHB yesterday at the Delirium in Lille, take care," denounces a user on Twitter.

Another woke up in the emergency room after agreeing to be paid for a drink at a nightclub in this neighborhood.

In Brussels, Belgium, a movement is setting up behind the #BalanceTonBar.

The only way to protect yourself is "not to lose sight of your drink and not to accept any from a stranger", insists the Oise gendarmerie.

Indeed, once in the glass, it is impossible to realize it, the substance being colorless and odorless.
