Date Rape Drug Seized in P.G.
Thursday, February 23, 2012 @ 3:28 PM
Prince George, B.C.- RCMP have made two arrests and seized a quantity of the date rape drug "GHB".
Officers executed a search warrant on an Alward Street home last Friday night.
Upon search of the residence, investigators located one litre of GHB (Gamma-hydroxybutyrate), an illegal substance as set out in the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. A small quantity of cocaine and drug trafficking paraphernalia were also located.
A male and a female, both in their 30’s, both residents of Prince George were arrested. Police say both suspects are known to be associated to organized crime groups. Charges are pending against these two persons and against two other adult male residents of the City.
GHB is a Central Nervous System (CNS) depressant, often referred to as a "date rape" drug. Low doses (4 ml or a bottle cap full) can cause amnesia, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, dizziness, lowered inhibitions or impaired judgment. Higher doses can lead to respiratory depression, slowed heart rate, seizure-like activity, loss of consciousness and coma.
Although the Prince George RCMP have not received any increase in reports of sexual assault, they are reminding the public when attending social events.:
- Never accept an open beverage from someone you don’t know;
- Never leave you beverage unattended;
- Never leave friends alone with people you don’t trust.
Should you suspect that you were drugged, attend the nearest hospital as soon as possible.

Thanks a million guys, for getting that crap off our streets.
Way to go!!! you’re right Slim, we sure don’t need any of that. I hope they make some more seizures of that stuff! and other things.
Get arrested. Get taken to the RCMP lock up. Lunch courtesy of the RCMP. Go in front of a judge. Get a promise to appear. That way they have to get their own lunch tomorrow. Simple, eh?
One pill off the streets two more on it will never end
Wish they would start naming these people so the public is aware if there is danger in their area and who it is.
1. its not a pill its a liquid.
2. its not just a “date rape drug”, its also used at raves, parties, bodybuilding, and casual use.
However, with that said it is also used by the scum of the earth for the purpose of “date rape”.
