Drug-related medical emergencies in Greece

Overview

Authorities in Greece are investigating separate incidents involving young women and suspected substance use. In Thessaloniki, police are investigating the death of a 20-year-old woman who collapsed after consuming MDMA at a music event. A 20-year-old male friend was arrested on charges including manslaughter by negligence and drug possession, while prosecutors seek to identify those responsible for distributing narcotics.

In Paros, a 21-year-old woman has recovered after being hospitalized in critical condition following a sudden collapse at a rented home. While investigators initially examined whether the woman was administered a ‘date rape pill,’ the woman has since clarified that she voluntarily consumed GHB to experiment during a social gathering. She stated she mixed the substance with a soft drink rather than alcohol to avoid dangerous combinations but admitted to consuming a larger dose than intended.

The woman has defended her 23-year-old partner, who was previously arrested, asserting that the decision to use the drug was entirely hers. She noted that the substance was obtained weeks prior at a rave in Athens. Medical professionals noted that timely intervention at a local health center in Paros was a decisive factor in her survival, and she has since been taken off life support while recovering.
