Soap, Drugs, & Rock and Roll
July 20th, 2007This is the incredible true story of the Germ and Soap Company that teamed up to fight drug charges. David Bronner President of Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps shows how natural soaps test positive for the date rape drug GHB using police field kits while detergent based fake soaps always test negative. You got to watch it to believe it.

Is it necessary to use the phrase “date rape drug” every time GHB is mentioned? I realize the media has done a wonderful job of spreading misinformation about GHB, but it’s a pretty lousy drug for spiking drinks. Sure, it has no color or odor, but the taste is a blend of burnt plastic and seawater.
According to a study in the UK, date-rape drugs are essentially a myth. See: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=436592&in_page_id=1770
It’s sad that GHB has been so demonized that even a blog favoring recreational drug use repeats the same misinformation.

Well done, Dr Bronner’s Soap. I have no idea why they are using a test for soap to find date-rape drugs. I have been using your soap for 27 years, and have found it to be wonderful stuff. Keep up the good work…

Can you say Police State?
Why would you check soap for GHB?

Bronner says petroleum is neither natural nor organic. What nonsense! You can’t get much more organic than a hydrocarbon. This is new age bullshit.

Bronner says petroleum products are neither natural nor organic. What nonsense! Oil, a mixture of hydrocarbons is formed entirely naturally from the tissues of long-dead organisms. You can’t get much more organic than that. This is new age bullshit.

[...] On an unrelated, twisted note, it looks like Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soap tests positive for the date rape drug GHB when using police field kits. Police arrested the Germs drummer when his bottle tested positive; Drugnerd had a video. [...]

Ok, all you technical guys bashing on Bronner that petroleum is a “natural and organic” product. You guys probably know this, but I think Bronner is reffering to currently growing matter that can be harvested. Petroleum is dead fossil matter. It can’t “grow” back once it’s harvested until millions of years later. It’s unsustainable, and that’s Dr. Bronner’s point. Would you rather use hydrocarbons that ’s used for machines as a soap? Or would you rather have soap made for living organism like we humans?
