vaginapaginaok...so in a recent issue of Jane, I read about an new step towards the prevention of date rape....'Proofies'.....they look like regular swizzle sticks, but in fact are basically the same thing that parol officers use to screen for drugs in urine....developed in the U.K., they are not yet avalible for sale in the US (they have yet to be approved by the FDA) but Jane let "us" in on a little secret, if you go to the website www.surescreen.com(I am inept when it comes to HTML, so please bare with me and type out the address) and look under the drug test section for single drug test strips, they are basically the same thing, that I believe (don't quote me on this)is already approved by the FDA....they only cost $2 and are usually used for urine samples, but serve the same pupose as the 'Proofies'...I just thought I would share that with you guys.....I found that to be a very,VERY good idea....

Date: 2002-02-26 05:44 am (UTC)girl is at the bar. guy has been hitting on her all night. she leaves to use the restroom, or turns her head for one sec, and BOOM.
she's cautious, so she takes this little strip and dips it into her cuervo margarita. the strip will determine if there is any substance in there that shouldn't be such as "roofies" or any other drug like that.

Two important points about this definition
Basically, you meet someone in a bar or anywhere, they become an acquaintance, and then they do the ole sliparoo.
The drug itself is "the date rape drug" but anyone can use it.
