This doesn't change the fact of being known as a rape drug, and that it's hard to believe an otherwise non drug user would start on recreational drugs chosing to use Rohypnol. Moreover, the FDA forbid Rohypnol in hte USA because of it use as a rape drug, and not because it could be used as recreational drug (if so, many, many drugs that alter the behavior or perception, requiring a recipe to be bought -as Rohypnol required when it was legal- would be forbidden as well).
I don't know enough the legal system in the USA, but I guess reporting this to the police, without further evidence, wouldn't trigger an investigation nor lead to prosecution, but several reports may help to build a case. We don't even know if the police is gathering information about this very abuser and they're waiting for more people to report something like this, and this will remain unknown until reporting what happend.
In any case, I believe that asking a lawyer about these issues is advisable. |
Although it has never been legal in the US, thiss drug is surprisingly inexpensive on the street - and some people are remarkably stupid as to what they will put in their bodies. Several years ago, we had a rock star (Kurt Cobain) overdose on this drug shortly before his death by suicide.
Recreational uses (from Wikipedia): To produce profound intoxication - To boost the high produced by heroin, or ease the anxiety and/or sleeplessness of withdrawal - To counteract the side effects of stimulants (e.g. insomnia, paranoia, jitteriness) -To "soften" the so-called "crash" which follows heavy usage of stimulants, such as cocaine or methamphetamine - To improve sex drive and appetite.
It is extremely likely that a police report would trigger an investigation in this case. The US laws regarding this drug are extremely stringent and the criminal sentencing guidelines are severe. There would be no reason for law enforcement to standby and wait for additional victims to surface.
