MIDNIGHT.
DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR CUP IS?
Whether
you’re lying on the beach, at a party, or relaxing after a long day,
it’s important that you keep an eye on your drink.
If you don’t, you could become a victim of "date rape drugs"
like Rohypnol.
What
is Rohypnol?
Rohypnol,
the "date rape drug," is being used because of its sedative and
hypnotic effects. The drug is odorless, colorless, and tasteless. It is often
put into drinks of victims who unknowingly succumb to muscle relaxation and
amnesia, making them prime targets for sexual assault and rape.
What
does Rohypnol look like?
Rohypnol
tablets are white and scored on one side and may be printed with the word
"ROCHE." The tablets can be dissolved in a drink and the drug is
then undetectable.
What
symptoms occur if you have ingested Rohypnol?
Ten minutes after ingesting the drug, the victim will feel dizzy and disoriented.
The victim may also experience sensations of nausea, being too hot, or being
too cold. The victim will encounter trouble speaking and moving. Finally,
the victim will lose consciousness.
How can you avoid being a victim of "date rape drugs"?
- Never accept drinks from someone you don’t know.
- Never accept drinks in opened containers.
- Never leave your drink unattended.
- Never accept drinks from a punch bowl.
- Tell your friends about the dangers of "date rape drugs" and how they can avoid being victims
- Notify
the authorities immediately if you think you have been
a victim.
Everyone is not drinking and using other drugs.
