What if what actually happened is that she didn't give in but he took it anyway? I'm not saying this is what happened because I wasn't there, but neither were you. Bob is not here to give his version, which makes it kind of unfair, but no one knows unless they were present. </span> </div></div>

Blu has this happened to you? Did someone accuse you of rape when you did not believe one had been committed? [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/bubble.gif[/img]

She could very well have been given drugs, no? Even before "date rape" drugs became widespread, men have been known to get women drunk to take advantage of them or is that just an urban legend? [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/bubble.gif[/img]

'Roofies', The New "Date Rape" Drug of Choice

By Clark Staten, ERRI Executive Director
Chicago, IL., January 6, 1996 (ENN) --Like the Quaaludes of the 60's and 70's, there is a new "love drug" being abused in several parts of the country. The drug is Rohypnol, or "Roofies" as it being is called on the street. It is also called "ruffies", "roche", "R-2", "rib" and "rope" and reportedly is quickly becoming the "date rape drug of choice."

Rohypnol is a brand name for flunitrazepam (a benzodiazepine), a very potent tranquilizer similar in nature to valium (diazepam), but many times stronger. The drug produces a sedative effect, amnesia, muscle relaxation, and a slowing of psychomotor responses. Sedation occurs 20-30 minutes after administration and lasts for several hours. The drug is often distributed on the street in it's original "bubble packaging" which adds an air of legitimacy and makes it appear to be legal. The drug is not commonly used by physicians in the United States and is not even listed in the commonly used Physician's Desk Reference.

Illicit use of Rohypnol was originally reported in Europe in the late 1970's and world-wide use of it has continually increased since then. According to police sources in both Florida and Texas, "roofies" were first seen in the United States in the early 1990's; they quickly gained acceptance and use by both high school and college students. According to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) more than 1,000 cases of illegal Rohypnol possession have been reported recently, in thirteen states. Reports have also been received of it being popular in "gay bars" in selected locations on both the East and West coasts. In fact, Rohypnol is now being reported as being one of the "in" drugs on high school and college campuses and particularly in college fraternities. And to make matters worse, "Roofies" are inexpensive and reportedly being sold for as little as $2.00-$4.00 per tablet in several locations.

According to a University of Florida drug hotline, "Roofies" are often combined with alcohol, marijuana, or cocaine to produce a rapid and very dramatic "high". Even when used by itself, users can appear extremely intoxicated, with slurred speech, no coordination, swaying, and blood-shot eyes...with no odor of alcohol. The drug has been added to punch and other drinks at fraternity parties and college social gatherings, where it is reportedly given to female party participants in hopes of lowered inhibitions and facilitating potential sexual conquest. Police departments in several parts of the country say that after ingestion of "Roofies" that several young women have reported waking up in frat houses with no clothes on, finding themselves in unfamiliar surroundings with unfamiliar people, or having actually been sexually assaulted while under the influence of the drug.

As insidious, disgusting and perilous as this may sound, the dangers don't stop there. Besides the worries of unprotected sex, Rohypnol, particularly when mixed with alcohol or other drugs may lead to respiratory depression, aspiration, and even death. When taken repeatedly, it can lead to physical and psychic dependence, which is thought to increase with both dose and duration of use. An amnesia producing effect of "Roofies" may prevent users from remembering how or why they took the drug or even that they were given it by others. This makes investigation of sexually related or other offenses very difficult and may account for repeated reports of "date rapes" involving the use of the drug.

Both law enforcement and drug counseling services caution that the use of Rohypnol is increasing and that additional quantities of it are being imported across the Mexican border, where it can be obtained by prescription. ERRI drug abuse analysts warn that "Roofies" are just another in a long list of dangerous drugs that are being imported and "pushed" to the impressionable youth of this country.
