Sure, I don't mind talking about it. I got it from a bartender, as it turns out. I was with a big group and thought it must have been one of the guys, till the bartender was arrested a few weeks later for giving it to someone else.

No clue how easy it would be to get or what it looks like. I was drinking a chocolate cherry flavored cocktail, and I didn't smell or taste anything unusual. I'm actually pretty on-guard in nightclubs, never set my drink down for a moment type of thing, so I know I would have realized if anything seemed "off."

Anyway, at first it just seemed like I got drunk really fast. I have those cocktails frequently, and I know my usual tolerance...I wasn't even halfway through my first and I felt like I'd had about six. I staggered from the dance floor over to a couch. Then the spinning kicked in. Apparently it was vertigo, or at least that's what my best friend with Meniere's disease, which causes frequent vertigo, said. It was like the entire club was one of those Gravitron rides, and I was clinging to the couch trying not to spin off.

Then I started going in and out of consciousness. I remember waking up to a bouncer yelling at me about sleeping in the club. Then I woke up again with one of my friends stroking my hair and gently shaking me. He made me drink some water. Then I woke up again in the backseat of the car on the way home. Then not again until sometime the next afternoon, still in my club clothes, on a friend's couch.

I was sick as a dog that whole next day--kind of like a cross between a hangover and the flu. I pushed fluids and gradually managed to eat lightly, and was okay to drive home by that night. Took me about three days to fully recover though.

In retrospect, I should have gone to the hospital. But as I pieced together later, everybody just thought I was really drunk. Nobody was keeping up with how much anyone else was drinking, most of the group was drunk...so it was a logical conclusion. But I am SO fortunate that I was with a group that got me out of there okay. I literally would have been at that bartender's mercy, and it's a really scary thought.

Hope that helps!

Rohypnol is my favourite sleeping pill. It's effect are sudden and total. I just drop. I buy them in pharmacies in third world countries. I stock up when I travel. Last time was in Cambodia.
Today I'd never set my foot on a long flight without them. Last time I came home from Thailand I had screaming infants on three sides. I still slept like a.... well... not baby. More like a clubbed seal.

The next day it's a bit like being on valium. Relaxed and slow. A great way to start a holiday. I have a stressful job. Instantaneously I slide into vacation-mode. So these pills definitely have a use apart from date-raping.

Another drug you can use is Ketogan. My ex-wife in Goa got some poured into her beer by some idiot Israeli guy who thought it was funny. When she collapsed, my choices were to punch him in the face or carry my wife home. I did the adult thing. I still can't shake that guy's stupid sneer from my mind as I picked her up. She was conscious but had no control over her body. She was like a doll. She moved around but only weakly in a highly uncoordinated fashion. Her speech was night-marish slurred low babbling. In the morning all she had was fractured and distorted memories of the events, but otherwise felt fine. Anything could have happened to her by anyone and she wouldn't know. When I told her that I'd taken off her clothes and put her to bed she had to ask if it was me who did it.

Ketogan can be bought at pharmacies in India. It's a tasteless clear liquid. I've been told it's horse tranquilizer. There are people who take it willingly for "fun".
