"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!
What I saw was one of the worst drug reactions I'd ever seen. Truly scary. And I've seen people on coke, heroin, X, meth and every other damn thing you can name.
You wake up naked with a sore butt and a funny taste in your mouth?
"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 woke up next to Janet Reno?
I have seen alot of pics of clinton..but that one give me the creeps. What a smarmy guy he is.
"Exactly! The next day it affected my back, neck and shoulders. That's proof I was drugged."
"Damn these fading powers."
BOOMER MAN
LOLOLOLOL...Danny Kaye at his best.
What's the point, the, without a pleasure response? Why not just get a rubber doll? 
There are very bad people in the world who may see it as some kind of victory, who knows? The point is to realize that there are bad people about and guard against them.
Are you saying that it is men who are doing this to women? I keep reading on FR that it's women who are the abusers and the aggressors.
The chalice from the palace
has the pellet with the poison
But the flagon with the dragon
has the brew which is true..
or was it
The Flagon with the dragon
has the pellet with the poison
and the chalice from the palace
has the brew which is true
It's about time...
Henry Aaron never left his drink leave his hand during his playing days.
During the HR chase of Ruth, he worried about something bad being done to him.
I'd rather have a wine in front of me than a frontal lowinomy. Or something like that.
inconceivable
We went from having a good time to Uh-oh something is wrong here in less then 30 seconds. The EMT said that she had gotten a low dose which is why she was still responsive. A higher dose and she likely would have just dropped.
There is no build up and no time to respond if you're the one who is doped. If you aren't with a group who is looking out for you you have no chance.
Again, everyone needs a good "wing man" and nobody is "left behind."
Get with the program, honey. If they weren't so damned abusive and aggressive, these poor guys wouldn't be forced to drug them into submission :)
PS - I think most of the guys here are quite fond of us gals. It's just that the ones who aren't really like to talk about it.
Countdown to rant on divorce laws...10....9...8....7...6...
Heheh :)
OMG, that's funny ;-D
lol!
I wonder if that's what happened to Natalie Holloway.
Your drink IS the original date-rape drug.
Never match wits with a Sicilian, when death is on the line!
Tell me about it... next thing you know you wake up next to a strange woman with all these scratch marks all over your back, and the worst part is you can't remember a thing.
...what I really hate is waking up with a hang-over below decks of a Corsican freighter sailing under a panamanian flag and being forced to sew wal-mart clothing while enroute to Africa. Then, even after killing half a dozen men to escape in a lifeboat, to be picked up by a Greek freighter where you're forced to perform Gilbert & Sullivan showtunes for the drunken, opium addicted captain who is a light opera fan. And just when you've docked in Tanzania, it's horrible when you have to work your way back on an albanian cruise ship cleaning the toilets.
That's why I don't drink excess anymore.
I checked the site, and you know what?
They want your credit card information before they will tell you how much the product costs..
I looked throughout the site, and could not find ANY mention of the prices for their products.. NONE..
The coasters have to be fairly inexpensive, as they are provided as a "service" to the customer by the bar or restaurant, pub, etc...
So why the reluctance to simply say what the prices are for the credit card or coasters ??
