Nanaimo RCMP Issue Date Rape Drug Warning
The public is being warned not to accept drinks from strangers after at least five 19-year-old women have reported feeling ill after accepting drinks.
Nanaimo RCMP are saying the effects reported are consistent with the symptoms of taking GHB, known as the date-rape drug.
Const. Gary O'Brien says the first reported incident happened last month, a woman said she started hallucinating and feeling sick 15 minutes after accepting a drink at a local nightclub.
Four other cases have been reported of women feeling confused and suffering severe memory loss after accepting drinks from a stranger in the bar.
RCMP believe the drinks were laced with GHB which is clear, tasteless, odorless and can be lethal and is almost undetectable when mixed with alcohol.
None of the women reported a sexual assaut and surveilance videos from nightclubs are being used in the hopes of identifying suspects.
