alcohol is literally poison

^^no truer words have ever been spoken.

If people only knew how poison alcohol truly is, especially since many are drinking beer and alcohol made from GMO's....but that is an entirely different topic.

agree, someone should tell ed that corona contains GMO Corn Syrup and Propylene Glycol.

My friend was one of the people drugged this weekend. We were at the House Of Blues on Saturday night. We were standing on the right side of the 1st floor, leaning against the rail in front of the bar area there. During Do The Evolution he left to go the bathroom. He never came back. I texted him several times but got no response. About 30-45 minutes after he left I received a call from him. He was outside the club in the street, incoherent. He didn't know what had happened to him or how he got there. He thinks he might have gotten thrown out but he doesn't know why or for sure. At first I thought he was just drunk, but within a few minutes I realized something else was wrong. He was having trouble walking and talking. Not in a drunk way, more of an inability to make his muscles work. I was able to get him up, get some water into him, and get him home. He got very sick and had a very rough night. In the morning he says he didn't feel hungover, more foggy and unable to focus. We absolutely think he was slipped something.

We had our drinks sitting on the rail all night. People were constantly reaching in to put cups down or pick cups up. it would have been very easy for a devious person to drop something in. When my friend left to go the bathroom he left his cup behind and I remember that it was not empty, so we don't think he got the full dose of whatever this shit was. We had only 2-3 drinks over a period of a few hours with food and water in between. Not nearly enough to get this guy anywhere close to the state he was in. He's OK and did not need to go to the hospital, so we are thankful for that. It could have been much worse.

The event at HOB was Ten Club only. Lottery winners had their names put on a guest list to get in the door. At the door you received two tickets for admission to the screening. While It is possible that someone could have picked up their tickets and sold them to strangers, it is highly likely that whoever did this is either in the Ten Club or walked in as a Ten Club member's +1. Be aware in Chicago at pre-parties and at the shows. Look out for yourself, your friends, and those around you.

So, completely, f'd up. I hope karma has some serious payback for anyone who would risk someone's health or safety (and cause them to miss an event they cared about too) for their own amusement or sick gratification, if your friend or others were indeed drugged. I hope they get caught, and I hope whoever catches them is not gentle in the payback. They could literally kill someone this way, you never know what other meds or health conditions people have.

I say get everyone in a room that was at HOB and administer a lie detector test - should be easy since they have a list of names of who attended and everyone knows who their +1 was. I am so sorry to hear about what happened to your friend. That is absolutely horrifying that someone would do something so evil. I hope he has recovered fully. He was assaulted that night in one of the worst way possible, with something that altered his mind and his ability to function coherently. He is very fortunate that he had you to look out for him, once you realized he was not okay.

question: does anyone know if any of the reported cases had toxicology test performed? Im not on facebook so I cannot see the discussion over there but Im wondering if any reports were actually confirmed?
not that I dont believe the accounts on this forum or reports from other sites, Im just trying to find what the "drug" is if known.
entire situation is totally F'd

According to reports on Facebook there were tests done at the Beth Israel emergency room. The toxicology test was unable to determine specifically what drug was used but the doctors believed it to be some sort of synthetic hallucinogen.

That's all totally messed up. It's also worth calling the HOB and speaking to a manager. If it happens often there, it could also be staff (bartenders, security, etc), so it would be good for them to know about.

I think that everybody who suspects they were drugged (wherever and whenever) should be going to the hospital to get a toxicology screening and should also be contacting the police to try and file a report (supported by the toxicology results). It seems strange to me that it doesn't sound like a single person who was purposefully poisoned by someone who we can assume is a psychopath haven't contacted authorities, especially when they suspect there were several victims. This is a serious crime. Perhaps if people took these steps the toxicology results could be compared. Maybe they could determine 1) that they were actually drugged, and 2) that the same drug was used on several people, and 3) maybe even use that info to try and track down the source of the drug. Who knows.

Friday night at my Fenway was my 2nd PJ show. It was incredible without a doubt. A good percentage of the crowd seemed respectful and there to enjoy the show, but there were a lot of people around us that seemed more interested in talking to each other and playing on their phones. I seriously could not believe how many people were just looking at their phones the entire night with what seemed like zero interest in what was happening on stage. It was unbelievable. A lot of people around us were so drink I can't imagine they had any clue what was going on, but they did have enough awareness to yell "I love Eddie" after every song. I just don't get the idea of paying $85 a ticket and being so drunk you can't remember the show, talking to your friends all night, and looking down at your phone the entire show.

A lot of people go to these kinds of shows just for something to do, not because they are particularly interested in the band. The bigger the show and the more iconic the venue, the more people like this you're going to see.

Holy shit - good on you for taking care of him. And I'm amazed he was able to text you in that state. How frightening, all the could've beens.

Great idea about notifying the HOB management - never know, if this is an on-going thing. I'd hate to think so.

By the way, some of these substances don't stay in the body long enough to be traced (ie, between the show and now).
