With the countless number of women declaring themselves victims of sexual assault, how could he have done it?
The 90's preferred rape drug was Ketamine, a scary drug. The 80's used Rohypnol, known colloquially as "rufie."
More recently it has been MDMA. MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine), popularly known as ecstasy or, more recently, as Molly, is a synthetic, psychoactive drug that has similarities to both the stimulant amphetamine and the hallucinogen mescaline. It produces feelings of increased energy, euphoria, emotional warmth and empathy toward others, and distortions in sensory and time perception.
Rohypnol is a trade name for Flunitrazepam and belongs to a class of drugs known as benzodiazepines — the same drug family as Valium, Halcyon, and Xanax. It is significantly stronger than the other drugs in this family. Rohypnol is sold in both Europe and Latin America as a sleep aid, but is illegal in the USA.
Rohypnol comes as a pill, in one and two milligram doses that is taken orally or dissolved in liquid. The tablets are often white with a line across one side, and a number "1" or "2" inside a circle and the name 'Roche.' It is frequently used in combination with alcohol, and sometimes with other drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, and heroin (to either accentuate the 'high' or help the user 'come down' from these drugs).
Rohypnol begins to take effect within a half-hour, but does not peak for almost two hours. This delay of onset and power makes it hard to judge and predict. The drug initially causes a feeling of intoxication similar to alcohol (the user feels relaxed, sociable, and uninhibited), followed by a feeling of drowsiness. The effects can last from four to 24 hours. Higher doses can lead to seizures or coma. Combining use with other drugs such as alcohol can result in nausea and breathing difficulties. Fatalities usually occur from respiratory failure.
Rohypnol is both physically and psychologically addictive, strongly so, and withdrawal is long, difficult and sometimes fatal.
