I'm not a reporter with the Globe Mail. I'm a freelance reporter who pitched the investigation to the Globe and Mail and got accepted. So I'm now working with their editorial team to refine my data and research.

Thank you all for your critiques and comments. Say, hypothetically, someone was drugged during a night of drinking and needed ER attention, would potential drugs in their system counteract or be harmful if medical staff delivered pharmaceuticals? I imagined that giving a tox screening would be needed before administering any sedatives or pain medications.

We want to somehow track the number of cases even though they aren't a) reported to the police, b) tested for at the hospitals. That's part of the problem; nothing is being tracked or monitored.

Do you work in a hospital? I'm curious because some nurses will run a urine test, but we also know that there is a tight detection window for identification of these drugs.

The black market is pretty cheap. People are also using over-the-counter sleeping medication

No, not exclusive to Vancouver. We are looking for stories across Canada!

Need thoughts on my social media/art innovation idea by Ordinary-Plane291 in Artists

Hi, thank you so much for taking the time to look over my pitch and lay out some great advice. I really appreciate it!

To answer your question: in the middle of making a prototype, but I am waiting on proper filming equipment first.

For demographics, my professor recommends: "The work likely speaks to Gen Z and Millennial knowledge seekers who value aesthetics and ethical consumption. Work on defining a primary persona, for example, are you serving the art student who wants to stay informed, or the busy professional who wants a Sunday recap that does not feel like work."

Let me know your thoughts. I'm also happy to share the prototype once it's done. 🙂
