Rape drug information
Today, I was sad to learn there are individuals who abuse Rohypnol (roofies). This drug is known as the date rape drug, but the fact that anyone would purposely take this drug is scary.
If you know someone who is taking this drug you should know the following facts so you can help them.
Rohypnol is a is a powerful sedative (benozodiazepene) that depresses the central nervous system. It is similar to xanax in that it has a hypnotic effect. Rohypnol is not legally available for prescription in the United States, but is legal in 60 countries.
The drug creates a sleepy, relaxed, and drunk feeling that lasts 2 to 8 hours. A person may lose their inhibition and do things they would not ordinarily do. They may black out and have a complete loss of memory of what occurred the night before. This is why it is used as a date rape drug and given to unsuspecting victims. Oddly enough some people take it to purposefully.
Other effects may include dizziness and disorientation, nausea, difficulty with motor movements and speaking.
Some people mix roofies with heroin or alcohol to enhance the high. The combination can be lethal.
If you know someone who is abusing roofies, then get them some help. Don't let them try and stop on their own. It can be dangerous.
