Chemical submission: an unknown scourge denounced by Sandrine Josso

 

On November 14 last, the Modem deputy from Loire-Atlantique, Sandrine Josso, experienced a traumatic event during what was supposed to be a festive evening. A victim of chemical submission, she spoke at the National Assembly on January 16 to raise awareness among the government and the public about this still largely unknown scourge.


An Urgent Call to Action

Returning to the Hemicycle, Sandrine Josso called on the government to act quickly to shed light on this phenomenon and help the many victims. In an interview with France 3 Pays de la Loire, she shared her personal experiences and advocated for the official recognition of chemical submission.

"Post-traumatic stress is a daily struggle," admits Josso. Its aftereffects include nausea and palpitations, but she works with a psychologist to overcome these obstacles, although the path is long.


Understanding Chemical Submission

Sandrine Josso explains that chemical submission often relies on the misuse of common medicationsFrom antihistamines to sleeping pills, these substances, combined with alcohol or administered in high doses, can have serious consequences:

  • Food manipulation: Spouses or close relatives hide high doses in food or drinks, causing amnesia in the victim.

  • Intrafamilial abuse: Some parents use substances on their children for malicious purposes.

This phenomenon goes beyond physical and psychological submission, highlighting the need to raise awareness and take action to prevent these abuses.


A Necessary Fight for Prevention

At the National Assembly, Sandrine Josso actively works to promote preventive measures. Her commitment reflects growing awareness within the government and Parliament regarding this alarming phenomenon. However, much remains to be done to protect victims and educate the public.


The Role of Saliva and Urine Tests

Screening tests play a crucial role in identifying cases of chemical submission. These tools detect the presence of toxic substances or misused medications in the body. Here is how they contribute:

  • Accurate detection: Saliva and urine tests reveal traces of substances such as hypnotics or benzodiazepines administered without the victims' knowledge.

  • Tangible evidence: These analyses provide key clues to establish a link between the victim's symptoms and impairing substances.

  • Facilitating legal proceedings: Test results serve as evidence to potentially initiate legal action against perpetrators.

"Screening test technology is an essential tool in the early recognition of victims," emphasizes Josso, reaffirming their importance in medical and judicial care.


Towards Collective Awareness

Chemical submission, denounced by Sandrine Josso, remains an insidious threat that requires collective mobilization. Between public awareness, active prevention, and the use of screening technologies, it is crucial to strengthen efforts to protect victims and prevent these acts.

💡 Practical information on screening

During a roadside check, the gendarmerie saliva test is commonly used to detect the presence of drugs. Many wonder how long the gendarmerie saliva drug test remains positive: it depends on metabolisms, but THC remains detectable for several hours to a few days. The gendarmerie thc saliva test (or gendarmerie saliva thc test) specifically targets recent cannabis consumption.

To carry out prevention at home or in the workplace, performing a thc saliva test (also called saliva thc test) is an excellent approach. If you are looking to equip yourself, you may wonder where to buy a saliva test equivalent to the gendarmerie? Although it can sometimes be difficult to find a thc saliva test in pharmacies, you can order our professional devices directly online.

🚨 Road Safety Reminder

Driving under the influence of drugs is severely punished by law. Anticipate with a reliable self-test before getting behind the wheel.

Scientific validation of B-SAFE

The B-SAFE project, a drug detector pen for drinks, is validated and supported by Professor Jean-Claude Alvarez, toxicologist, professor of pharmacology-toxicology, and director of the toxicology laboratory at CHU Raymond-Poincaré/AP-HP in Garches.

A leading authority in toxicology, he is associated with the reference work conducted in France on psychoactive substances and chemical submission, in a national ecosystem also supported in public debate by voices such as Sandrine Josso and Caroline Darian.

This validation strengthens B-SAFE's technological positioning and the accuracy of its detection for drug prevention in drinks. Discover the B-SAFE product sheet.
