Loreto spike?
I just got a call from a very distressed friend who sat down for a meal at Tio Lupe's (I think) in Loreto this afternoon and was treated very rudely
and then reports that he was drugged. They're locked safely in his hotel room but very freaked out about it. He and his girlfriend took a few sips
of their beers and within a few minutes were hit really hard by something - both are "experienced" beer drinkers. Anyone know anything about this
place? Ever heard of this happening in Loreto??

Are you sure?
I have never heard of anything like this in Loreto. Even though I do not frequent Tio Lupe's, it is a large restaurant with a decent reputation.
Please confirm the story that this was in fact the place.
I would love to hear more but only as factual information .

Rude service and a drug reaction might mean a drink was spiked. GHB (liquid x), ketamine (animal tranq) could have rapid onset. Maybe someone
didn't like gringoes assuming these were gringoes.
Roofies are mellow and still available in Baja. Doesn't sound like this.
A bartender once told me he spiked drinks with eye drops if he didn't like someone. Think the outcome was diarrhea or GI problems.

bartenders in elko nv. at casinos put eyedrops in drinks when the pit bosses told them. Also if they were
drinking a bottle of coke they spiked it half way with vodka. I know this first hand I was a c-cktail waitress for awhile.

Ok so a my friend Ed wanted me to wait until he was airborne to tell the story. He's airborne, so here it is:
Ed and his girldfriend went out for some yellows out of Loreto yesterday afternoon. It was a little slow, but they bagged a nice sized fish and after
they returned to town they hopped into a cab (they were staying at the Inn) and asked to stop for some food on the way out. The cabbie drove them to
Tio Lupe's. They were the only one's there. Someone dropped menus at their table and walked off. The guy returned a few minutes later and asked in
Spanish what they wanted to eat. Ed replied in English. The guy then rudely huffed and said, "Oh - you are Americans". He snatched the menus and
walked away. Ed was confused why the menus were taken away and so they waited for a few minutes until the guy came back, no menus in hand. "It's
fine" he said "We don't really need menus - we'll take 4 tacos and 2 beers". The beers took at least ten minutes. The guy set the beers down and
walked away. After 2-3 minutes and a few sips of beer, Ed started to feel a heavy onset of what he described as a clear reaction to some kind of
drug. He asked his girlfriend if she felt ok and she said she felt like she was tanked all of a sudden. He agreed - they were all of a sudden
bombed. Frightened, they asked for the food to go, but the guy now encouraged them to stay. Ed wasn't having it. They walked outside and looked for
the cabbie, who asked why they were leaving so soon. He also encouraged them to go back. They refused to go back inside and left without the food
they paid for and went straight back to their hotel room and vomited and locked themselves in their room fearing the cabbie would try to break in and
rob them.
They're home safe now.
So there's the story. It's the second time I've heard of this happening, the first being a nomad thread about two guys in a bar in la paz, and I
recall that those guys ended up being "robbed" by the bar tender and got police involved and it sounded like a big mess. I'm glad Ed had the
wherewithal to get the hell out of there, even if what they think happened didn't actually happen. Stay Alert, Stay Alive.

What if anything do your friends want to do to right the wrong?
If they desire, give me a description or name of the waiter exact time and date of the incident and I will somehow get that information to the owner,
whomever he or she is. I do not want to get directly involved but would be more than happy to act as a go between to inform the owner of what went
down and then back away and let them handle it as they see fit or desire.
If your friends are that insistent that it happen exactly the way they said, I would love nothing better to do than to TRY to make sure it does not
happen again. I will stick my neck out as far as only telling the owner anonymously that the way your friend described it.

Exactly. There is nothing sought here. Just information For those who want it - take it for what it is. My friend felt like he was being targeted and
so he ejected from the situation. In my eyes he did the right thing. If reports start popping up similar to this then there's real cause for concern.
If not, then it's one of those things. Hopefully it's the latter.

"I will stick my neck out as far as only telling the owner anonymously that the way your friend described it."
Please note my above sentence in my original post. It's your call if you want to drop it but in my opinion, we should make some type of attempt that
it does not happen again.

Im pretty sure they are not spiking drinks with visine. They use the little bottle cause its easy to conceal and is ideal for inserting drug laced
liquid into a drink.
One of my personally appointed responsibilities as a high school teacher is to warn kids about the crap that can happen to them at parties, bars
drinking, drugs etc. I even show the kids those red asphalt movies at Saturday School.
No worries

It's Bajamatic's call, not mine.
If he says OK, then I will proceed. If he wants to let it go, I will respect that also, no matter what I think about the matter.
If he wants me to proceed I would like a description of the waiter so I do not go up to him with a date and approx. time it occured.
