Though illegal in the United States, it is easily available in Europe and is smuggled in through Mexico or mailed from countries in South America where it is sold illegally. Customs also allows a person with a prescription to bring a three-month supply into the country. The drug is distributed on the street in its original bubble packaging, making it appear legal. A person who suddenly feels tired, confused, dizzy, sick, has trouble breathing, seeing, urinating or feels drunk after not having much to drink should tell someone immediately and find trusted friends to get to a safe place and get medical attention. If possible the drink should be brought to the hospital to be analyzed.
People can take precautions to avoid being drugged.
Do not leave drinks unattended at the table or bar while dancing, talking with friends, or in the bathroom. Avoid wide-mouthed glasses. If something seems wrong with your drink, it tastes funny, there's powder on the glass, or if it has been out of sight, throw it away. Drinks are not the only way to drug someone. Some rapists are now putting liquid drops onto a piece of gum and offering it to their victims.
