Spiking
Spiking is giving someone alcohol or drugs without them knowing or agreeing. For example, in their drink or with a needle.
Spiking can happen to anyone anywhere – no matter their age, gender, sexuality or ethnicity. It can be carried out by strangers or by people you know.
Spiking can cause severe distress, emotional harm and anxiety. It can take a long time to recover from being spiked and can put you at greater risk of injury, theft or assault. It is also dangerous to drive when someone has spiked you.
