Does it detect alcohol? It takes a little longer, but that works well as a date rape drug also.

Unfortunately, any scumbag that is willing to force himself on a female, will probably find a way to do it.

I was drugged once by accident. I was spending an evening with a group of lovely ladies, who all were quite attractive, 4 or 5 of us, I was the only male. I ordered a pitcher of my favorite beer, and set it at our table and proceeded to play the bar games.

Apparently some A-hole thought he would go ahead and "spike" the pitcher he assumed would be consumed by the women, as it was at the table we were sharing...

Unfortunately, I was one of the only ones drinking the pitcher (one of the other ladies was having beer with me, and experienced the same drugging) I drank most of that pitcher, and don't remember anything really past the last glass I set down.

Apparently I was seen walking away from the bar shortly after the pitcher was consumed. I had a leather jacket on at the time, and when I came to, I was laying in a parking lot (I apparently was attempting to get home on foot). Both arms of my jacket were ripped as though i had gone through some razor wire, and I was soaking wet head to toe.

When i started coming to, I was so disoriented that I had absolutely no idea where i was, and was quite scared. I called a friend of mine for some help, she asked me where i was and I could not answer... She asked what do you see, I said "I see a Pepsi sign, I'm scared, wet, and completely disoriented, please rescue me". I guess she went around town to every store until she found me in the (very identifiable) little green store about a mile from my house.

If I ever were to find out who loaded my drinks... let's just say they better pray I never find them.

B*stards. I can't imagine anyone wanting to have sex with a woman that was drugged to that extent.............................oh, that's right..........it's rape. I'll never understand that.
