With a drop of a cocktail, the test kits can detect two common date rape drugs: ketamine and GHB.
West Hollywood approved a plan to purchase and hand out date rape drug testing kits to drive down the number of sexual assaults happening in the area.
Stories like Field's and many others inspired the City Council to purchase and give out drink-spiking test strips at bars and nightclubs all over West Hollywood. With a drop of a cocktail, the kits can detect two common date rape drugs: Ketamine and GHB. The city plans to give these to bars that can make them available for customers. People can test their drinks, see if it is spiked and then scan a QR code with safety information.
At a meeting addressing nighttime safety, West Hollywood officials addressed recent reports about people who believe they were secretly drugged while out in the city. Steele said 53 percent of those assaults happened at the same establishment. She called for that business to institute better training and transparency.
