Rohypnol

This drug is not legal in the United States but it is in other countries, where it is used as an anesthetic before surgery or as treatment for insomnia. However, this drug is available in the US and is much more powerful than others in its class. It has been used for criminal purposes such as date rape and robbery. This book lists the criteria for the USDA's drug schedule, and contains sidebars on what the drug looks like, on the risks of falling into chronic depression, on ways to combat date-rape drugs, and on how to intervene with someone who is abusing the drug.
