The dangers of "obedient water" and the need to protect oneself.
In recent years, "obedient water" has been widely circulated as a dangerous liquid drug in major entertainment venues. Although many people have heard its name, for those who are upright, kind, and law-abiding, they know nothing about the truth of "obedient water".
The "obedient water", also known as **, obedient water, etc., is popular in major bars, nightclubs, and entertainment venues such as KTV. Although it appears to be a "magical" potion that allows people to follow instructions, its main effect is actually to put people into a state of slumber and even lose consciousness. The key ingredient is -hydroxybutyrate (GHB), a substance that effectively suppresses the nervous system, and symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and temporary amnesia may occur after use.
Although -hydroxybutyrate was synthesized as early as 1874 and used as a sedative, anesthetic and sleeping pill in the pharmaceutical field, it has always been dangerous, so it is rarely produced in the pharmaceutical field at present. However, due to the special properties of -hydroxybutyric acid, criminals are beginning to use it for shady purposes.
For the victims, the harm of "obedient water" is very serious. First of all, -hydroxybutyric acid is colorless and odorless, making it difficult to detect, so if we lack vigilance, it can be easily tricked. In addition, people who take "obedient water" may experience symptoms of temporary amnesia, especially in entertainment venues such as bars, nightclubs, etc., where victims may mistakenly blame excessive alcohol consumption for their condition.
Even if the victim perceives that something is wrong, it is difficult to find out afterwards whether he or she was affected by the "obedient water". Since -hydroxybutyric acid is a substance naturally synthesized by the body, it is highly metabolic and can be excreted from the body in a short time. In addition, in addition to being used as a ** drug, ingestion of low doses of "obedient water" will also bring relaxation, sexual impulsivity and euphoria, which has a certain addictive properties.
However, high doses of "obedient water" ingestion can cause irreversible damage to the brain and may even lead to death. In view of its harmfulness, China has listed -hydroxybutyric acid as a class of psychotropic drugs for strict control, but there are still many "obedient waters" on the market that endanger people's safety.
In order to protect our own safety, we need to strengthen our awareness and vigilance against "obedient water". First of all, we should try to avoid going to unregulated entertainment venues, especially those with reputational problems. In addition, we should always be vigilant, not accept drinks from strangers easily, and try to avoid going to entertainment venues alone. For any suspicion of any situation, we should also report to the relevant departments in time.
In the long run, the crackdown on "obedient water" should be further strengthened and the punishment should be increased to protect the safety of the public. The education sector should also step up its efforts to raise awareness among young people to stay away from this dangerous substance.
In short, we should be aware of the threat of the dangerous drug "obedient water" to individuals and society, improve our awareness of prevention, and protect ourselves and our loved ones. At the same time, all sectors of society should work together to clean up entertainment venues and ban the existence of "obedient water" to make our lives safer and healthier.
Protect Yourself This worrying hazard is a constant flow of water. The latest case occurred on January 8, 2024, when staff at the Shenyang Post Office Customs seized seven bottles of obedient water during a routine inspection. Overseas mailing is one of the main ways in which this dangerous water spreads in our country. Criminals often disguise obedient water as massage oils, cosmetics, conditioners and other forms, and transport them into our country by mail. As a result, customs authorities are often able to seize items containing happy water in foreign mail. Less than 10 days after the beginning of the year, this obedient water case was discovered! The sheer number and number of victims is also considerable, especially female victims. For example, in 2019, there was a case in Jiangsu: a 51-year-old man named Hu was arrested for repeatedly violating women using obedient water, and the investigation found that he had more than 400 violations stored in his mobile phone, involving more than 100 women, and only one person reported the case. Some of the victims were threatened by Hu with **, while others and many more victims didn't know what was going on! There are many similar cases in China, and such cases are often reported on legal programs on television. In addition to being forced to take obedient water without knowing it, it is also possible for us to take it on our own initiative without knowing it. Before 2017, there was a popular Internet celebrity drink among young people in China, Kawa Tide Drink, which was found to contain the illegal drug hydroxybutyric acid, and the public security department demanded that it be removed from the shelves immediately. However, even after being asked to remove it from the shelves, there are still various alternatives on the Internet such as Kawa Tide Drink that have been sold for a period of time before being severely cracked down and banned. Shockingly, this illegal drug actually appeared in an influencer drink, which was sensational but real. In the face of such an imperceptible danger, how should we guard against it?The way to protect yourself first requires the management of the larger environment. Only by strictly controlling the way of importing obedient water and cracking down on it at the source can the harm be most effectively reduced. At this point, our customs are doing a good job. Second, we need to raise our own awareness of prevention. Men and women alike should not go alone to bars, nightclubs, and other places with complex environments. We should keep this in mind. Especially women, don't go out alone with someone of the opposite sex, no matter how familiar the other person is. Many obedient water cases are committed by acquaintances, who let their guard down because the other party is too familiar. It is also very important that many girls are taught: do not drink the drink or food that a stranger brings you, and do not drink a drink that is out of your sight, even if it is always in your hand. Because the lights in the night entertainment venues are dim and the amount is large, skilled criminals are likely to drugged as they pass you. No matter how expensive the alcohol is in these places, don't drink it once it's out of sight. Don't feel sorry for waste, it's for your own safety. Last but not least, it's important to know how much you drink. If you find that you have inexplicable symptoms such as dizziness and weakness in your limbs in these places, do not take it lightly and immediately call the police or seek help from those around you. In short, you can't have the heart to hurt others, but you can't have the heart to prevent people!Nowadays, anyone in society has the possibility of endangering you, so lesbians must be vigilant and protect themselves when they go out.
