or designer drugs are man made and the potency is not regulated, therefore,
they may cause overdoses. Another
commonly used group of drugs at RAVES are tranquilizer type drugs called
Rape drugs. These drugs are slipped
into drinks and the victim has no memory of the evenings' events the day
after. |
