Ways to Protect Yourself
How to protect yourself and your friends from bad
experiences with drinking, club drugs, and
unwanted sexual activity
Date rape drugs may have been used if ...
- Someone says she was with people she ‘knew’ so she didn’t think she needed to be cautious or watch her drink.
- Someone says she only drank a little, but became drunk or incapacitated much more quickly than usual.
- Someone says she was somewhat aware of what was going on, but felt listless or paralyzed and unable to move to stop the incident.
- Someone says she has no idea how she got from place ‘A’ to place ‘B’.
- Someone says that when she woke up she found that she didn’t have all of her clothes on.
- Someone got more physically ill than usual the following day after drinking only a few drinks the night before.
- Someone was drinking at a club that evening.
- Someone has lost a span of time and can’t remember what happened from time ‘X’ to time ‘Y’.
No matter what it's called...
- Roofies (Roche, $-2, Rib, Rope, Mind Eraser, Forget Pill)
- GHB (G, Liquid X, Liquid E, Scoop, Soap, Gook, Grievous Bodily Harm, Georgia Home Boy, Natural Sleep-500, Easy Lay, Gamma 10, Energy Drink)
- Ecstasy (XTC, X, Adam, Clarity, Lover’s Speed)
- Regardless of whether it’s a mixed drink, a beer, or something that’s been put into your drink . . .
It’s still rape to the victim.
- Need Help?
No one is immune from this problem.
- Have fun and keep a clear head. If you choose to drink, drink responsibly and don’t use club drugs.
- Trust your friends when they tell you it’s time to go home with them, no matter how much fun you are having.
- Even though you may be interested in getting to know someone better, do it when you have a clear head and can make decisions to keep yourself safe.
It can happen to anyone.
