date rape drugs

Definition

Or: rape drugs , drugs or chemicals slipped into a drink to incapacitate someone for a rape. Because of the amnesia-causing properties of some of these drugs, the victim can't remember what happened. It's the perfect weapon for a rapist because it leaves the victim vulnerable and reduces the chances of successful prosecution. Some of these drugs, ketamine for example, block all sensory input to the brain, so the brain fills in the spaces.
