BBC NEWS | Health | Medical notes | Rohypnol: The date rape drug Thursday, 4 February, 1999, 15:59 GMT Rohypnol: The date rape drug The drug is available on private prescription in the UK Rohypnol is a legitimate drug used in the short-term treatment of sleep disorders, but has been abused for more sinister purposes. It has been implicated in several date rape cases in the US, although there is no confirmed case of it being used in sexual assualt cases in the UK. It is the brand name of flunitrazepam, and is a part of the Valium family. It is 10 times more potent. The drug is not legally available in the US, but is in Europe and Mexico. In the UK it is only available on prescription, and it is illegal to possess it without ...
Wired Science - Wired Blogs GHB was never used to degrease cars or clear drains. The chemicals used to manufacture GHB accomplished these things. Chemicals used to make another chemical are called precursor chemicals. Once precursor chemicals react to form a new substance, the new substance has little to no relation to the original chemicals. GHB is a naturally occuring metabolite of GABA in the human brain. A metabolite is a chemical that is left over once your body metabolizes a substance. Since GHB occurs naturally in the body in small amounts, this probably explains why it shows up in urine, although the chemical ...
I am a narcoleptic that takes Xyrem the prescription name for GHB on a nightly basis to induce non-rem sleep states for the effective duration of the drug. It is prescribed in the U.S. but is highly controlled and must be delivered to my home from a federal facility and signed for by either me or the wife. I can attest to the potency of its effects if taken in large doses but such a large dose would taste horrible (sort of like swallowing a salt lick). The main use of this substance as a "date rape" drug requires it be ingested alongside alcohol. The alcohol (probably a whiskey or rum mixed drink ...

Corrie AZ: D is for Drugs Corrie A-Z: D is for Drugs Illegal drugs have reared their ugly head on Coronation Street on occasion. Probably the most infamous storyline was the almost instant addiction Leanne developed with cocaine. She bought it from the evil Jez Quigley and soon ended up having to pay for her habit by sleeping with him! Tony Horrocks got tangled up with drug dealers, including Jez and it was the death of him and of Des Barnes who was knocked over by two dealers looking for Tony. Des was also involved in another drug story a few years before that when he gave Mavis ...
More recently, we had a story about a mysterious woman who was tending a marijuana farm in one of the flats on Victoria Street, with David making friends with her and walking her dog. Perhaps that's the root of all David's problems? . That storyline ended as abruptly as it started! Spider used to indulge in some "wacky tobaccy" and surprisingly, Auntie Emily actually looked the other way, preferring him to do it under her roof rather than get into trouble.
Strip Tease In 2005, unbeknownst to its then-prospective buyer, Jazz Pharmaceuticals, a lawsuit was filed against Orphan Medical alleging that the company promoted the drug for uses that the FDA had not approved. Among the off-label indications that drug sales representatives were told to use as selling points: weight loss, chronic pain relief, and treatment of bipolar disorder and insomnia. Jazz Pharmaceuticals agreed to pay a $20 million settlement, pleading guilty to one count of felony misbranding of a pharmaceutical product.
Brimble holiday from hell The 16-month inquest into Brimble's death from a drug overdose of the date rape drug fantasy on board the Pacific Sky came to an end this week when Senior Deputy State Coroner Jacqueline Milledge recommended criminal charges. She referred the case to the Director of Public Prosecutions, saying there was evidence a "person or persons" had committed indictable offences.
Waking early on the first morning aboard the Pacific Sky after retiring with a headache, Wood told the inquest she was not worried that her sister had not come home. She's probably drunk too much, she thought, and gone to sleep on a deck-chair. Vaguely recalling someone trying to open her cabin door during the night, she did not remember any other noises so felt confident her sister would soon be there to regale them with tales of what had gone on.
Wednesday Newspaper Review - Irish Business News and International The inspectors found that Mr Stakelum had provided a deposit-taking service, that some deposits were held offshore, that he provided a withdrawal service in Ireland, made use of a non-interest bearing account to hide that business from the Revenue and that the service was carried out in secrecy. The inspectors concluded that Mr Stakelum, acting through Clyde Enterprises (formerly Business Enterprises) operated a current account in an AIB branch which did not attract interest.
Mr Stakelum would give funds to the late accountant Des Traynor who moved them offshore. The withdrawal would then be funded out of the float. The inspectors found evidence tending to show Mr Stakelum that provided a mechanism whereby Irish residents could withdraw their offshore funds here and concluded that he carried out that business with intend to defraud the Revenue.

News - The paint stripper drug that kills I have had many experiences with GHB and GBL…and that is the reason I refuse it every time. I have seen or been in the company of people that have gone into full and total muscle spasm where every muscle in the body is trying to work against each other. even the muscles in the face move independantly so that it looks like your face is trying to rip itself apart. I have also been there when someone had stopped breating and we had to shake him vigorously to get him breathing again and back into conciousness. ...
Perhaps we should start the US idea of “friends don’t let friends…”. It sounds a bit over the top, but we should help our friends to stay safe. Sandy, UK It is misleading and sensational to say that GBL is the drug of choice on the gay scene. For most it’s alcohol and tobacco, followed by amyl nitrite, marijuana, ecstasy etc. The responsible zero tolerance scheme run amongst London gay clubs, the educational and harm minimisation approach by the police, health promoters and gay media and good sense has kept its regular use to a tiny proportion of gay men.

In Rape Cases In Which Alcohol Is Involved, Juries Reluctant To With the Christmas party season upon us changes in the law that were supposed to make it easier to convict men of rape might not result in more convictions in cases in which the woman was drunk, according to new research funded by the Economic and Social Research Council. Under the current law in England and Wales, rape can only be established if it can be demonstrated that sexual intercourse took place to which there was no consent and that the defendant lacked a reasonable belief that such consent had been given. The 2003 Sexual Offences Act changed the criteria for the defendant ...
The New Choice Of Drugs Are Prescription Drugs 2 comments: thejunkyswife said... It's true..and prescription meds...the "safe" ones...often lead to harder addictions. My husband started out with a problem with pain pills, and he accelerated to heroin while in rehab. 1:26 PM As I See It So Should You! said... Most people believe if they're given prescrption drugs, it's not the same as taking ilegal drugs because they are prescribed by a licensed doctor and yes, prescrption drugs can be abused as we are finding out regularly. I hope your husband realizes he has a problem and gets the help he needs. Thank you for sharing your story. 12:26 AM Post a Comment
Rape in the year 2007 Naked, as in truth, and uncensored, I share my daily quest to survive as a woman and artist, while dealing with the complications of a full life, meddling in politics, loving my children to excess, totally permanently married and on a never-ending diet. While my soul is in constant need of repair and redemption, I struggle to do the right thing. In the meantime, let's all double the love. (Love, not sex, you fool).

1 Comments: At 9:07 PM , Harold Mansfield said… This is serious, and has been since the beginning of time and alcohol, but, i was a little put off by the way that, because a certain company that has incorporation on American soil imports a dangerous drug, you stated it, as if the U.S government, and it's citizens are the importers. Definitely a way to inflame opinions about the U.S. but unfair to give the impression that America, the whole country, and it's government sanction such atrocities. JMO
