'Reefer madness' was really just a marketing ploy against cannabis. Playing on the minds of uneducated, instilling fear into the masses about something they knew little about to begin with. Roofie Madness.. YIKES!! I recently really learned about Roofies after an article in the paper. Roofie is slang - Its a pill form of the drug rohypnal which causes the taker...or in this case victim..to lose all self control, independence and slight conscious loss so that they can be raped without resistance. Most cases involve the rapist putting the disolvable pill into an unattended beverage.
Side effects: The most worrying side effect of rohypnol is that it can easily be administered without the victims knowledge and lengthy sexual assaults can take place with the victim having no memory of events afterwards. In many cases, victims are even unaware that assaults have taken place until their symptoms are recognised or their memory returns. It's a very nasty drug.
Be very wary of accepting opened drinks from strangers or people you don't trust, even if they are only soft drinks. If you feel odd, nauseous or drunk after only a couple of drinks, leave immediately and go to a place of safety. If you are alone or with a stranger, call friends to tell them where you are and/or go to the landlord or manager and explain your situation.
Health risks: Used on its own, Rohypnol is unlikely to be fatal, but when combined with other drugs such as alcohol the risk increases greatly - as the drug suppresses the central nervous and respiratory systems, there's a chance that you could stop breathing. Other side effects include hallucinations, vertigo, skin rashes, stomach problems and changes in libido.
If you ask me ROOFIES are terrible - What kind of a man would do such a thing?
NOT much of one at all.
If you have a daughter and YOU do NOT educate her on THIS drug you are failing as a parent. I would start at age 12. IF you have a son and do not share with him how disgusting using a drug like this is on another human being - you are failing as a human.
