Capote de verre et bracelets anti-GHB/Kétamine : les solutions contre la soumission chimique
Evenings, festivals, or festive events should always be synonymous with enjoyment and safety. Yet, chemical submission — the administration of substances like GHB or ketamine to a victim without their knowledge — is affecting more and more people in France. These drugs, colorless and odorless, can be discreetly slipped into a drink within seconds.
At AMA Prévention, we work every day to strengthen prevention against chemical submission in festive settings. Our solutions — Test Ton Verre® GHB/Ketamine detection bracelets and customizable glass covers — offer concrete, accessible protection adapted to all contexts.
Chemical submission: understanding the risk to better protect yourself
The substances involved — GHB, ketamine, and sometimes certain benzodiazepines — can cause disinhibition, rapid sedation, memory gaps, and loss of control. They are often administered without the victim’s knowledge during an evening out, a concert, or a festival. Hence the need for simple tools to test a drink and protect your glass.
Our AMA Prévention solutions: taking concrete action against chemical submission
To address this issue, AMA Prévention offers proven prevention devices already used by festivals, bars, associations, and local authorities:
- Test Ton Verre® anti-GHB & Ketamine bracelets: change color within seconds upon contact with a drink containing one of these substances. Simple, fast, and discreet.
- Anti-drug glass protection covers: reusable and hygienic physical protection to prevent substances from being introduced into the glass. Customizable (logo, colors, packaging) for bars, festivals, and institutions.
Note: these devices are prevention tools and for drink testing. They do not replace biological screening nor medical or legal care.
How to use these devices effectively?
- As soon as you receive your drink, immediately cover your glass with an AMA Prévention protective cover.
- If in doubt, place a few drops of your drink on the Test Ton Verre® anti-GHB/Ketamine bracelet and observe the result.
- Never leave your glass unattended and stay alert to unusual behavior around you.
A major public health issue
Cases of chemical submission are recognized as a major public health and safety concern in festive environments. The phenomenon affects all generations, with particular exposure among young adults and students. National analyses report an increase in incidents since 2022 (ref. OFDT).
Beyond individual behaviors, the response must be collective: venues, organizers, and institutions play a key role in making festive spaces safer. AMA Prévention collaborates with committed stakeholders, including the association M’Endors Pas, recognized for its work supporting victims and raising awareness.
