Date rape drugs are substances that may be used to impair a person’s awareness, judgment, or ability to resist, making them vulnerable to assault.
Some commonly reported substances include:
Alcohol (most common)
GHB (Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate)
Ketamine
Certain sedative medications
These substances may cause:
• Drowsiness
• Confusion
• Dizziness
• Memory loss
• Loss of consciousness
How can you stay safe?
- Never leave your drink unattended
- Avoid accepting drinks from strangers
- Stay with trusted friends in social settings
- Seek immediate help if you feel unusually dizzy or disoriented
Awareness is one of the most effective tools for prevention.
If you suspect that you or someone else has been drugged, seek medical attention and support as soon as possible.
