A Scots teen left unconscious on a pub floor after being allegedly spiked has welcomed changes that will see those preying on victims facing harsher sentences - but insists legislation needs to go further to tackle sales of the drugs.
In a breakthrough for spiking victims last week, the Home Office announced that GHB - the drug commonly used to spike drinks - has been reclassified as Class B along with GBL and 1,4-BD, meaning that those found in possession of them will face tougher penalties.
Those found in unlawful possession of spiking drugs now face sentences of up to five years behind bars, while those involved in supply and production will face up to 14 years in prison.
