Chemical Submission: Our Commitment to Act and Protect

1. A scourge still too invisible

In recent years, cases of chemical submission have seen a worrying increase in France. This phenomenon, still too often minimized or misunderstood, involves administering psychoactive substances to a person without their knowledge to make them vulnerable, whether to rob, assault, or sexually abuse them.

Party venues, bars, festivals, and student events have become risky spaces for thousands of young women and men, unknowingly exposed to powerful drugs hidden in their drinks. Despite increasing testimonies, official figures remain unclear, largely due to the difficulty of proving involuntary administration of a substance and quickly detecting the products involved.

Through this article, we aim not only to raise awareness but especially to present the concrete actions implemented by our team to fight this silent violence, protect potential victims, and support engaged actors on the ground.

2. Our commitment against chemical submission

At Ama Prévention, our mission has always been clear: to make prevention accessible, concrete, and adapted to real-world conditions. Faced with the rise in chemical submission cases, it was unthinkable for us to remain bystanders. We chose to act, in line with our values and expertise.

Chemical submission does not only concern party venues. It also affects professional environments, campuses, and private parties. It is an insidious phenomenon that requires concrete, accessible, and rapid responses.
Our commitment was born from this urgency: to offer reliable solutions to detect substances involved in these acts, while raising public awareness.

We refuse to normalize this violence. By taking a clear stance on this issue, we affirm our commitment to support victims and complement the work of associations and professionals who operate daily on the ground.

3. Actions on the ground, tools to protect yourself

Taking action against chemical submission cannot be limited to speeches. Prevention truly makes sense on the ground. That is why we multiply concrete initiatives to provide solutions to those who need them.

We work with various audiences: event organizers, student associations, local authorities, nightlife venues, and professionals in the medico-social sector. Each time, our goal is the same: to provide simple, effective, and validated tools to enable a quick response to suspected chemical submission.

Our ranges of saliva and urine tests detect within minutes the substances most frequently used in this type of assault: benzodiazepines, opiates, methadone, fentanyl, barbiturates, among others. These devices are now used in prevention, self-monitoring, and local awareness campaigns.

We also ensure to inform, train, and support. Because technology alone is not enough. Fighting chemical submission also involves understanding the risks, recognizing warning signs, and spreading simple reflexes to protect oneself and others.

4. A concrete campaign: reliable tools accessible to all

For prevention to be truly effective, it must be accessible. That is why we launched a campaign dedicated to fighting chemical submission, offering a selection of products specifically adapted to this issue.

We have gathered in a special collection all the saliva, urine tests, and detection accessories that identify the substances most commonly used in chemical submission. These tests are easy to use, certified, and designed to provide quick and reliable results.

Beyond the products, this campaign is backed by a strong commitment:
For every order placed on our site, €1 is donated to the association M’Endors Pas, which actively works to inform, support victims, and legally recognize chemical submission as a form of violence in its own right.

Our goal is clear: to offer concrete solutions while supporting those who work daily on the ground. It is not just about selling tests. It is about participating in a collective movement to break the silence, raise awareness, and strengthen everyone’s ability to act.

5. Support for the association M’Endors Pas

Since its creation, the association M’Endors Pas has played a crucial role in recognizing, denouncing, and managing cases of chemical submission in France. Founded by victims and activists, this organization works tirelessly to change mindsets, raise public awareness, and secure better legal protection.

At Ama Prévention, we share this vision and commitment. That is why we have chosen to actively support M’Endors Pas through a concrete action: for every order placed on our site, €1 is donated to them. This contribution aims to strengthen their capacity for action, visibility, and support for victims.

We want to acknowledge the work of Gisèle Pelicot, Caroline Darian, and Sandrine Josso, key figures in this fight, who have brought this issue into the public sphere with strength and courage. Their commitment inspires ours. We are proud to stand alongside them to bring forward concrete solutions to this still too often ignored form of violence.

6. Our ambition for 2025

The fight against chemical submission cannot be limited to one-off actions. It is a long-term battle that requires consistency, rigor, and innovation. At Ama Prévention, we aim to sustainably advance prevention by developing tools adapted to real-world conditions and collaborating with committed stakeholders.

In 2025, we want to go further by:

• strengthening our presence in student, festive, and professional environments, with information campaigns, awareness workshops, and targeted partnerships;
• expanding our range of tests to respond to the constant evolution of substances in circulation, especially new synthetic drugs;
• training professionals and volunteers in the use of tests and detection of signs of chemical submission;
• further supporting associative structures, by facilitating their access to reliable and affordable tools.

Our ambition is simple but strong: that everyone can have, independently, the means to protect themselves or others. Whether it is a student, a facility manager, an event organizer, or a concerned relative, we want no one to be powerless against this danger.

💡 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) particularly targets recent cannabis consumption.

To do 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.
