Drink spiking is on the rise and extremely underreported. More than 90% of people who suspected their drink was spiked didn’t report the incident to the hospital, police, or venue. Nearly 11 million women in the US have been sexually assaulted while drunk or drugged.  Drink spiking is so common yet so underreported due to lack of awareness, shame/embarrassment, memory loss, fear of retaliation, lack of evidence and or legal/social barriers. 50% of women and men surveyed had their drink spiked at least once. 37% had their drinks spiked multiple times. 72% of people don’t know what to do in a spiking situation and when victims DO go to the hospital they’re often turned away unless there are signs of rape or assault. These drugs are sheer assault weapons and can be used for serious crimes. They are very expensive to screen so while you can get screened for marijuana in almost every medical facility, most hospitals don’t have screens for some of the most common date rape drugs: Rohypnol, Ketamine and GHB. We’ll hear from several people who say they were roofied and it was way worse than any hangover – symptoms of vomiting, blacking out, low pulse, weak heart rate and shallow breathing. We’ll feature a test strip demo and other solutions.

Dr. Phil sits down with Bryn Spejcher, convicted of stabbing her friend 108 times while in a Cannabis-Induced Psychosis. In an exclusive interview Dr. Phil delves into the harrowing tale of Bryn Spejcher, who in 2018 experienced what is known as Cannabis-Induced Psychosis. This led to the fatal stabbing of her friend Sean O'Melia with an 8-inch kitchen knife, and subsequently, Bryn turning the knife on herself. In an intense confrontation, it required 8 police officers, multiple tasings, and physical force that broke her arm, to disarm her. Following a controversial trial in late 2023, Bryn was convicted of involuntary manslaughter but faced no jail time, ultimately getting three years’ probation instead. Marijuana is no longer the “harmless” plant so many people say it is, and Bryn’s story exemplifies the dangers. Join us as Bryn shares her story in a Dr. Phil Primetime exclusive interview, shedding light on that horrific, and deadly, night.
