What is spiking?
Spiking is when someone gives another person drugs or alcohol without their knowledge or consent.
Anyone can be a target of spiking.
Spiking is a serious crime regardless of why someone does it.
How can someone be spiked?
- By someone putting something into your drink.
- By someone secretly using a needle to inject you with something - usually in a crowded place.
- By someone offering you substances disguised as other drugs.
- By someone purposely giving you more of a substance than you intended to have or knew you were taking.
How to seek help or assistance?
It is extremely important that you seek medical attention and that you report the incident to the Guards.
- There is complete discretion when disclosing; the victim is in full control and can withdraw at any time!
- When reporting, YOU are in control and YOUR voice will be heard and taken seriously when you report.
- You can request a female or male guard to speak to, whichever makes you feel more comfortable.
- You can bring a friend with you to disclose.
