Because rohypnol is so cheap it has become easier for so called sexual predators' to get what they want, easily. This is because when the drug is put into a drink, twenty to thirty minutes later you become unconscious, which can normally last for several hours. Once this has taken place the predator can take advantage and can force sex without any consent from you. The predator will also have not a lot of worries either because the drug causes memory impairment. The next morning you awake with a pounding headache and some sense of someone having had sex with you. All the memories you have are very innocent and are mainly before the blackouts. If you experience this you should seek medical advice to find out for sure if you have any clear signs of sexual activity. These could be things like bruising in the genital areas or nearby and bruising on the wrists or forearms. A blood test may also be taken to try and find tracings of the drug but the body flushes out rohypnol quite quickly so the sooner the blood test the better. There are other useful indicators. These are things like a sense of hallucination, feeling hung-over even though you have not consumed much alcohol and no clear memories for between eight to twenty-four hours without any reasoning for the memory lapse. Another very clear indicator is that your friends may remember how intoxicated you were despite having had very little to drink.
