A cookie can knock you unconscious in 5 minutes.
A glass of orange juice makes you wake up with no memory of what happened.
This is the power of the new drug, “Obvious Water.” All it takes is a small addition to the diet to keep the victim obedient and at the mercy of others.
Recently, there is not a lot of related news. Sisters must sound the alarm while eating melons. The danger may be around us!
The obedient water is also known as amnesia water, fairy water, dating rape drug. The main ingredient is a chemical called gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB).

Eating in low doses can lead to high moods and sexual arousal. At higher doses people begin to drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, hallucinations, and short-term forgetfulness. In more serious cases, it can cause convulsions, coma, liver failure, and may even cause respiratory obstruction and suffocation due to vomiting [1]!
What’s even scarier is that the drug is colorless, odorless and so subtle that it could be added to any food.
Now it often appears in the form of “functional beverages”, which are called “alternative alcoholic beverages” and “new healthy entertainment beverages” in some entertainment venues.
The hype is nothing more than the bewitching and misleading of lawbreakers. Don’t be fooled.

Not only obedient water, but also many other drugs such as marijuana and methamphetamine are lurking around you in various forms, just like the seventy-two changes of Monkey King.
1. “Smoke my e-cigarette, it’s more powerful than real cigarettes!”

Why is it stronger than real smoke? Because of the synthetic cannabinoids added! This is a synthetic chemical. It is more convenient to obtain than normal marijuana, and it is more harmful to the human body.

2. “How uncomfortable it is to drink all the time, eat a cookie to nourish the stomach”

4. “I have a pack of new cigarettes from abroad, let me give you a taste”

This kind of smoke is commonly known as rainbow smoke, which produces colored smoke when smoking, with its own aroma. Rainbow smoke is also a mixed drug, the specific ingredients are temporarily unknown, but the harm of such mixed drugs will only be greater.
And according to statistics, the average age of rainbow smoke users is less than 18 years old. Many young people smoke in pursuit of coolness, but they don’t know that they ruin their future in the smoke.
5. “I don’t drink any alcohol, can a can of Coke be all right?”
It looks exactly like Coke, but it contains a lot of “rape drugs” like ketamine, triazolam, flunitrazol.
They are generally white or light blue tablets that are easily soluble in water and have little or no characteristic taste and odor that can be detected.

The types and forms of drugs are far beyond our past understanding, and the above are just a few. More and more camouflaged packaging makes it hard to prevent. So what we can do is to raise awareness of prevention and protect ourselves in a mixed environment.
1.Reject drinks and snacks of unknown origin. In entertainment venues, don’t trust anyone who takes the initiative to strike up a conversation, especially those who bring their own drinks and snacks. Little fairies should always keep a guarded heart when they go out.
2. If you leave temporarily, don’t drink the same drink when you come back, in case someone takes the opportunity to prescribe medicine. Try not to entrust acquaintances to help watch, after all, acquaintances will not stare at the cup all the time, not to mention that according to research, nearly 80% of rape perpetrators know the victim[2], and not all acquaintances can be trusted.

3. Leave immediately if you feel dry mouth, dizzy, or sleepy. It takes about 10-15 minutes from taking the medicine to the effect of the medicine. You can stimulate the throat or the base of the tongue with your fingers to cause vomiting, spit out the contents of the stomach, and try to reduce the blood concentration. Find ways to call for help or call the police to those around you, and leave to a safe place, such as a nearby store.
4.Stay in touch with people you trust. Especially when going to bars, ktv and other places alone, make an appointment with friends or family members in advance on how often to keep in touch. For example, WeChat will be sent every 20 minutes to report safety. If you have not been contacted after the time limit, you will have your relatives call you immediately, and if you cannot contact the police directly.
If you are unfortunate enough to be violated, remember that it is not your fault. The victim is not necessarily perfect, but the perpetrator must be unforgivable. Therefore, you must adjust your mentality and call the police immediately, and bringing the wicked to justice is the best counterattack.
