Rape Drugs - What You Need To Know About Them There
is a growing concern on campuses across the country due to the
presence of
predator drugs. This article will focus on three drugs threatening
personal
safety:
Rohypnol (Roofies, Rope, Ruffies, R2, Ruffles, Roche, Forget-pill)
Gamma
Hydroxy Butyrate (GHB, Liquid Extacy,
Liquid X, Scoop, Easy Lay)
Ketamine
Hydrochloride ('K', Special K, Vitamin
K, Ket)
Rohypnol
It
is a potent tranquilizer which produces a sedative effect, amnesia,
muscle
relaxation, and slowing of psychomotor response. The pill is
distributed in
0.5,1.0 to 2.0 milligram form (Restrictions have been placed on the
2.0 mg
form). It is colorless, odorless, and tasteless and dissolves without
leaving
any traces. It takes effect approximately 10 - 20 minutes after
ingestion.
Rohypnol can be added to any liquid (effect lasting 2-8 hours) but
when added to
alcohol it produces disinhibition and amnesia (effect lasting 8 - 24
hours). Rohypnol can be detected in the blood for 24 hours and in
the urine for 48
hours. Some individuals use Rohypnol as an alcohol extender for a rapid and
dramatic high. This is something to watch for in social settings if individuals
seem extremely intoxicated after consuming only a small amount of alcohol. Hoffman-La
Roche is working on changing the formula so trace particles or a
color would appear when Rohypnol is dissolved. Street
Names: Roofies, Rope, Ruffies, R2, Ruffles, Roche, Forget-pill. GHB
It
is an odorless, colorless, liquid depressant with anesthetic qualities. It is
also used as an amino acid by bodybuilders. GHB is usually distributed as a
sodium salt in powder or tablet form commonly dissolved in water. This drug
gives a feeling of relaxation, tranquillity, sensuality, and loss off
inhibitions (especially for women). The drug takes effect 10 - 15 minutes after
ingestion and lasts 2 - 3 hours unless combined with alcohol, where effect may
last 20 - 30 hours. Large doses can induce sudden sleep within 5 - 10 minutes. Street
Names: Liquid Extacy, Liquid X, Scoop,
Easy Lay. Ketamine
It
is a new drug that has been added to the predator drug category. It is a
powerful anesthetic used as an animal tranquilizer. It is available in liquid,
powder or pill form. Ketamine causes hallucinations, amnesia and dissociation (a
feeling where the mind seems separated from the body) making it attractive for a
potential date rapist. Street
Names: 'K', Special K, Vitamin K, Ket. How
to Protect Yourself:
Don't
drink anything out of a punch bowl.
Monitor
the behavior of friends who seem more intoxicated than the amount of alcohol
would warrant.
Never
accept a drink from someone you don't know and trust.
If
you hear someone "kidding" about date rape drugs, pay attention.
That should be a warning to leave that party or individual. If
a rape victim suspects he/she has been drugged, he/she should request a drug
screen.
New
laws have been put into effect in Illinois, and by the Federal government to
address the date rape drug issue.

The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking

"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe
simply because it has been handed down for many generations. Do not
believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do
not believe in anything simply because it is written in Holy Scriptures. Do not
believe in anything merely on the authority of Teachers, elders or wise men.
Believe only after careful observation and analysis, when you find that it
agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all.
Then accept it and live up to it."
