Could this possibly be a date rape drug?

Question

i have a very good friend of mine who started texting me. she started texting me and then her grammar started to get worst and worst. she started talking about her boy friend and bljo golb if you know what i mean.(that's how she spelled it on her touch phone). soon after her boyfriend gets on the phone and tells me to f off. about 2 hours later i text her to see if shes ok. her boyfriend deletes all the texts and when i can text her back she talks about how she fell asleep sometime when she got home. she also said she had not seen her bf since school. she then started to throw up blood and she said she felt like she was dying. she could barely move and she told me that she feels really weird but she was ok. she then went to sleep. i know she was on some sort of drug but can someone please give me an idea of what kind. was it some sort of date rape drug because she cant remember any of our conversations after school. she was able to function enough to be able to text me when she woke up later and her bf was gone.

Answer 1

A date rape drug? That is mostly media hype -- there isn't really a classification of drugs by the DEA or other agency of Date rape drugs.. Rophynol , GHB, and Ketamine are the most common of the "date rape drugs". They work by disassociation of the brain/body. Which basically sedates the person but keeps them awake physically and very dis-inhibited (beyond what alcohol does).



To get an idea of them check here:



Rophynol - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flunitrazepam



GHB - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma-Hydroxybutyric_acid



Ketamine - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketamine



GHB would be the easiest to obtain -- though none of them are particularly 'easy' to obtain. None are prescribed with any regularity, and ketamine is used primarily in vet. Medicine.



At any rate, other chemicals can create disassociative effects. IE: If someone were to ingest a diluted mixture of propyl ethylene glycol (anti-freeze) They would have strong neurological effects, and potential bleeding with organ damage (possible). Though the bleeding is something that is throwing me off here. It isn't particularly common or 'easy' to cause internal bleeding with a sedative drug.



However, it is certainly possible. The most likely scenario with bleeding would be alcohol being mixed with aspirin, or even something like DXM (cough medicine, over the counter).



The alcohol would irritate the stomach lining, but more importantly thin the blood. The second ingredient would be what would create the bleeding, .. though alcohol can do it alone.. it certainly takes a very high quantity (is common in moderate to late stage alcoholics).



The only way to know here is to get a Toxicology screen within 24 hours of ingestion.. Preferably blood Tox screen.. If it has been more than 24 hours, then you will never know (unless he for some reason decides to reveal things) what she ingested.



That is the sad fact.



That said, as others say -- this needs to be investigated. Though, be careful you and her (and all involved) in assuming guilt on his part. This is slander, insinuation of intent to harm, rape and so on. Very serious accusations and charges without proof. Legally it can backfire. So the key would be to stay away from this person. Again, remember without proof there is nothing legally that can be done. The police can do nothing.



However, filing a police report wouldn't be a bad idea just to have a history of it on file. It won't do anything now, but if something happens in the future with her (Hopefully she has enough sense to not associate with him any more) -- or with ANOTHER person/girl and this guys name the police will have more than enough motive to investigate, etc -- because of this previously filed report.



Make sense?



So take care of her mentally, physically, and make plans to stay away from the potentially ill-in tented guy.



Take care,

Answer 2

I think you should report this - this could be a very serious situation and your friend may die because of it. Yes, I think she has been taking drugs - but from who, I don't know.

Answer 3

I would leave that up to the Police, call them, they will help the best c:

Answer 4

she was asking for it.
