BEWARE: Date rape drugs available freely !!!

Date rape drugs, which include Rohypnol, Ketamine and GHB, have been used to spike people's drinks to incapacitate and render them vulnerable to sexual assault. 

Mixed with the victims’ food or drink, the “date rape drug” can throw her into a haze, detached from all bodily sensations. It comes cheap at Rs 30 a gram and passes through the body quickly, making later detection difficult.

The police say the past two years have seen a spurt in seizures of ketamine, the drug most widely used by Indian rapists and known on the streets as Kid Rock, Ket Kat, Make-Her-Mine or, simply, K.

While gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB), Ecstasy and Rohypnol too are considered date rape drugs — some of them sold under the names Easy Lay, Scoop Her, or Forget It — ketamine is “popular” because it is legal and cheap.

 “People should avoid drinking with strangers, never leave their drink unattended, and have a trusted driver. Date rape drugs leave little evidence, that’s why there is no definitive record of how many women fall prey to them,” an officer said.

Rules for party
To protect yourself while at a party always make your own drink. If you are in a bar, never take your eyes off the bartender while he/she is making your drink. And last but not the least never leave your drink attended, even if you are with your best friend, and if you return, always discard it and make a fresh one (HT – 27 Jun 2015 - http://www.hindustantimes.com/health-and-fitness/not-just-marijuana-here-are-other-drugs-you-should-be-aware-of/story-UpFqCX84TgXfYwKzo9kWYP.html)
