Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rohypnol has been associated with cases of drug-facilitated sexual assault due to its ability to cause sedation, amnesia, and muscle relaxation. It has been used as a tool for perpetrators to incapacitate their victims, hence the moniker "date rape drug." Amytal and Halcion are also benzodiazepines, but they have not been as commonly associated with this type of misuse. Ritalin is not a benzodiazepine; it is a stimulant medication used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
