In recent years a new kind of rape threat has reared its ugly head at parties, on campuses and in nightclubs - so called "predator" or "date rape" drugs. What exactly are date rape drugs? Technically speaking, any substance that renders you incapable of saying no or asserting yourself and your needs can be used to commit rape. This can include things like alcohol, marijuana or other street drugs, designer or club drugs like ecstasy, over-the-counter sleeping pills and antihistamines, even cold medications. However, the term "date rape drug" usually applies to the drugs Rohypnol, Gamma Hydroxy Butyrate (GHB) and Ketamine Hydrochloride, because these drugs can easily be mixed in drinks to make a person black out and forget things that happen. Both girls and guys who have been given these drugs reports feeling paralyzed, having blurred vision, and lack of memory.

Abstract


In recent years a new kind of rape threat has reared its ugly head at parties, on campuses and in nightclubs - so called "predator" or "date rape" drugs. What exactly are date rape drugs? Technically speaking, any substance that renders you incapable of saying no or asserting yourself and your needs can be used to commit rape. This can include things like alcohol, marijuana or other street drugs, designer or club drugs like ecstasy, over-the-counter sleeping pills and antihistamines, even cold medications. However, the term "date rape drug" usually applies to the drugs Rohypnol, Gamma Hydroxy Butyrate (GHB) and Ketamine Hydrochloride, because these drugs can easily be mixed in drinks to make a person black out and forget things that happen. Both girls and guys who have been given these drugs reports feeling paralyzed, having blurred vision, and lack of memory.
