GHB and Rohypnol (or “roofies”) are commonly referred to as “date rape drugs.” Both drugs can be easily mixed with and disguised by alcohol. Both lower the user’s inhibitions and cause physical impairment.
Because GHB and Rohypnol are often given to unsuspecting victims, it’s vital for even non drug users to be aware of the effects of these drugs.
