Rohypnol, Roachies, Roofies, Rophies, 'Forget-me Pill'
Description
• 'Rohypnol' is used in some countries for prescription use as a treatment for insomnia, a sedative, and as a pre-surgery anaesthetic. It is taken to relieve anxiety and for muscle relaxation.
• 'Rohypnol' is tasteless and odourless, and it dissolves quite easily in carbonated beverages and alcohol, thus making it popular for use as a date-rape drug. Ketamine is also used a date-rape drug due to the 'disassociative effect' it has on the abusers.
