Sexual Health

Teens and the date rape drug
The most common use of rohypnol (slang – roofies or GHB) is by teenagers and young adults as an alcohol extender in an attempt to create a dramatic "high" most often in combination with beer, or as a drug to incapacitate a victim before a sexual assault. It is also often used in combination with other drugs, such as heroin, cocaine, and alcohol. Rohypnol is a low cost drug, sold at less than $5.00 per tablet.

Date rape and date rape drugs make drinking alcohol especially dangerous for young women. If you become too intoxicated or if a drug is added to your drink, you may pass out, fall asleep or otherwise not be able to protect yourself as you would when you are in full control of your body and mind. Women have been raped and molested in situations like this.
