IS THAT DRINK SAFE? A GUIDE TO AVOIDING CONTAMINATION

🚔Contaminating someone else’s drink with drugs is a felony crime. In CA, this is punishable by 2-8 years in prison🚨🔗

👀This guide is for self defense against tragically common criminal behavior. If you are in an environment that gives you any concern of your drink being contaminated, these steps can help you avoid consuming a drug-contaminated alcoholic beverage💊🍷

🥃DRINK IN A CUP - Stir the drink. Place a Benzodiazepine Test Strip into the drink wavy side down for 10 seconds. Remove the Benzo Test Strip and wait 30-60 seconds for results to appear. 2 lines are negative for contamination. 1 line is POSITIVE for contamination. Dispose of the drink immediately🗑⏰

🥫UNOPENED CANNED DRINK - Take the drink to the nearest sink. Wash the top with soap and water for 20 seconds or more. Dry it with paper towels paying special attention to wiping off the top of the can🚰🧻

🤲OPENED CANNED DRINK - Get a cup. Pour 1-2 oz of the canned drink into the cup. This is just enough to cover the bottom of the cup (DO NOT use more than this, too much liquid makes the test ineffective). Place a Benzo Test Strip into the liquid with the wavy side down for 10 seconds. Remove the Benzo Test Strip and wait 30-60 seconds for results to appear. 2 lines are negative for contamination. 1 line is POSITIVE for contamination. Dispose of the drink immediately🧪🚮

💊Drugs used to contaminate alcohol: Xanax, Rohypnol (Roofies), GHB, Ketamine. The first 2 are in the Benzodiazepine family so can be tested for with Benzo Test Strips. The test strips do not test for GHB or Ketamine. For this reason, the safest method of alcohol consumption is from an unopened bottle or can drink that you personally wash yourself🧃💦

💛If you give someone a drink and they test or wash it: Don’t take this personally. Although it may feel like it, it’s not an insult to you. The person taking steps outlined in this post simply wants to enjoy their night having peace of mind that they are in full control over what they consume🕊👩‍🔬
