This risk of violence has manifested in a very real form in the UK and the US, where the chemsex scene has taken an even darker turn. GHB, widely known as the date-rape drug, has risen in popularity among chemsex practitioners over the last five years, as has the practice of "speedballing", or combining multiple drugs to devastating effects.
In London alone, 61 deaths are reported to have been caused by GHB, between to The drug made national headlines in late when a serial killer named Stephen Port murdered four young men he met on Grindr by overdosing them on the drug. Since then, several news publications across the UK have reported on chemsex and the devastating effect it has had on the gay community.
In India, there are no reliable statistics on men who have sex with men MSM — estimates range from 3. However, it is not just app users who indulge in chemsex, or high fun, as it is called in India.
