What are “Predatory” or “Date-Rape” drugs?
The term “date rape” or “predatory drug” has usually been used to describe substances like Rohypnol (“Roofies”), Gamma Hydroxybutyrate (“GHB”), or Ketamine (“Special K”). But technically, any substance used to impair you from asserting yourself or your needs is a predatory drug. This includes marijuana, ecstasy, and other street drugs. An even newer trend is the use of over-the-counter and prescription sleeping pills, antihistamines, and cold medicines. Most often, these substances are used in deadly combination with the most common predatorial drug of all: ALCOHOL.
