If you think someone has drugged you, what should you do?

• A. Go home
• B. Call 911
• C. Post on social media
• D. Inform the bartender

Answer: (B)

When you think someone has drugged you, your safety and getting medical help as quickly as possible is the most important thing. Call 911 right away so trained emergency responders can assess you, monitor your vital signs, treat any effects, preserve safety, and arrange transport to a hospital if needed. Getting evaluated quickly helps manage potential complications and ensures you have the right care and support in the moment.

Other options don’t provide the urgent medical protection you need. Going home could leave you alone and unaware of ongoing effects, risking further harm. Posting on social media won’t get you medical help or safety, and it can delay critical care. Informing the bartender might not lead to immediate medical attention or safety, especially if you’re in a situation where you still need emergency assessment.

If you can, stay with a trusted person and avoid consuming more substances. Try to note what happened, any substances you suspect, and your symptoms, and follow the instructions from emergency responders. Seek medical evaluation promptly and communicate all details to the clinician so you receive appropriate care.
