Rohypnol
It's a fact…
Flunitrazepam Rohypnol, known as "rophies", is a central nervous
system depressant that is 10 times more powerful than Valium. It is used
legally in Mexico, South America, Europe and Asia as a sedative and to
treat severe sleep disorders. It is an illegal drug in the United States.
Rohypnol is often taken with alcohol or marijuana to enhance a feeling
of intoxication. It is sometimes used as a "downer" after a
cocaine binge. Along with GHB and Ketamine, Rohypnol has been used as
a "date rape" drug.
