KEEP YOUR EYES ON YOUR DRINK: WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ROOFIES AND GHB
Rohypnol (also known by names such as "roofies" and "the date rape drug"), GHB and many other substances can be unknowingly slipped into a person's drink. When this happens, a person will generally become sleepy and disoriented within a short period of time, often to the point of "losing" their memory of what's happening to them and around them for a number of hours. In such a state, a person is at serious risk to be sexually assaulted and/or victimized in other ways such as kidnapping and mugging. This program will present information on Roofies and GHB, will describe the common strategies used by would be rapists to drug and lure someone away from others, and importantly, will provide strategies YOU can use to reduce your risk of someone drugging your drink and victimizing you.
