SEATTLE, Wash. — The owner of a Seattle nightclub was arrested along with 16 other people after an undercover investigation led police to seize a copious amount of drugs, including the date-rape drug GHB.

KOMO reports Foundation Nightclub employees and in-house drug dealers sold cocaine, meth, MDMA, GHB, Molly, and various prescription and psychedelic drugs to undercover officers.

Police say one dealer even bragged about it and explained to the officer how much GHB to dose a woman with depending on her weight.

The club was shut down in August after the investigation and the owner was booked on Friday.
