Date rape drugs include GHB, Rohypnol, and Ketamine. These drugs are often sneaked into women’s drinks, though men are also victim at times, and then sexually assaulted. The effects that these drugs have on the body vary but often they include:
- drowsiness
- dizziness
- nausea
- problems seeing
- problems taking
- unconsciousness (black out)
- seizures
- can’t remember what happened while drugged
- problems breathing
- tremors
- sweating
- vomiting
- slowed heart rate
- dream-like feeling
- coma
- death
It is important to keep in mind that these drugs to do taste, they have no color and they are odorless.
I have heard reports of these drugs (GHB, Rohypnol, and Ketamine) used recreationally for non-sexual purposes. The hallucinogenic effects of ketamine make it a popular party drug, yet it can cause potentially fatal impairment of the respiratory system. (http://www.usdoj.gov/ndic/pubs4/4769/index.htm#risks)
