Chemical submission is reported in Ibiza, with cases of patients intoxicated by depressant drugs claiming they were involuntarily drugged. Medical services attend to these patients who insist they only consumed a small amount of alcohol but feel severe symptoms. The suspicions arise due to the lack of evidence unless someone witnesses the drugging. There is a distinction made between chemical submission (substance given without warning) and chemical vulnerability (voluntary consumption of psychoactive substances). In nightclubs, it is difficult to commit forcible rape, but it is easier to lure victims outside. Predators often pose as helpful individuals, offering assistance or substances. Alcohol is the most commonly used drug in chemical submission cases. Ibiza lacks specific tests to detect certain drugs, and alcohol is involved in the majority of vulnerability cases.
