Rohypnol has been labeled as a 'date rape' drug because it produces sedative effects as
muscle relaxation and amnesia, therefore the consumers cannot remember what they go on during the time they are under the
influence of Rohypnol and because of the sedative effects of it they are not
capable to defend themselves.
According to the web page www.bbc.co.uk, adverse effects
of Rohypnol use include: drowsiness, confusion, slurred speech and weakness.
In the following video, Donna
Barnes,a relationship expert gives advices to protect ourselves from this drug:
Rohypnol is illegal in the U.S., but
in Latin America you can get it with a prescription. What does it tell us about
our society? Should we also forbid the production and sale of Rohypnol? Another
controversial issue is the defamation of Rohypnol as the date rape drug. Not
many people know about this so, why authorities haven’t diffused the dangers of
this drug?
I do not understand why laboratories keep releasing this kind of drugs which are supposed to help us. But instead they do the opposite. I think it is ridiculous that we have to protect ourselves from drugs which can be bought in pharmacies the same way we have to be careful with "real drugs," such as cocaine and ecstasy. In my opinion, the production and sale of Rohypnol should be prohibited.
