This is the advertisement scheme for a valium analog called
rohypnol, I think works by increasing the inhibitory action of GABA making
it a GABA agonist. Television has named it "roofie" ... The people I know
of in the drug scene say this stuff doesn't exist. I would say that
this whole thing is either prohibitionist scare tactics or just tabloid
telivision gone mad. Also add murder to the rape charge, giving someone
enough rohypnol to knock them out with alcohol, as my local newspaper
recomends, could cause resperitory failure and or heart failure ...

Probably not.
