NCB Warns of Chemsex Risks on Dating Apps
The Narcotics Control Bureau says that some people are talking about using drugs before or during sex on the internet.
This is called chemsex.
The drugs most often used are crystal meth, GHB, GBL, and mephedrone.
These drugs can make people feel very high, but they can also cause bad health problems like overdose, addiction, and mental‑health issues.
They can also increase the chance of catching diseases like HIV.
The Bureau wants parents, teachers, and police to watch for signs that a young person might be using these drugs and to help them get support instead of judging them.
NCB issues a public‑health warning about online chemsex chatter.
Chemsex involves drugs such as crystal meth, GHB, GBL, and mephedrone.
Dating apps can be used to arrange drug‑facilitated sex meetings.
Risks include overdose, dependence, mental‑health problems, STIs, and HIV.
Parents, schools, and law enforcement urged to spot warning signs and seek help.
