Effects

Effects of GHB

In small doses, GHB produces a mild sedative effect, slowed heart and breathing rates, inability to think quickly or logically, physical weakness, and loss of consciousness. Effects kick in about after 10 minutes, and last about 4 hours.

Overdose can occur easily because the dosing is not precise. Overdose symptoms include drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, headache, unconsciousness, loss of physical reflexes, dramatically slowed breathing, and ultimately, death. Taking GHB with alcohol can be deadly.

Repeated use can lead to addiction and tough withdrawal. If someone takes a bit too much at once, GHB can produce seizures, coma, or death.

Effects of Rohypnol

Rohypnol makes the user feel "hypnotized." A tiny dose lasts 8-12 hours. It causes complete loss of muscle control, lowered blood pressure, dizziness, drowsiness, visual disturbances, confusion, and digestive problems. Rohypnol causes loss of consciousness and can cause amnesia.

Alcohol accelerates the drug's intoxicating effects and leaves the victim completely helpless. Because victims are likely to suffer amnesia, it is often impossible for the victim to tell the details of a rape or assault. Victims are often aware that they have been sexually assaulted, but they can't explain how it happened.

Rohypnol can produce physical and psychological dependence – addiction -- and people in withdrawal often suffer seizures.

Rohypnol is incredibly dangerous, especially if taken with other sedatives, like alcohol. Accidental overdose is deadly; just a tiny bit too much can kill.

Effects of Ketamine

Using Ketamine is like someone taking a crowbar and smacking you as hard as they can at the base of your skull! Like a blow with a crowbar, a dose of Ketamine can either knock someone cold or kill him.

Ketamine makes users delirious. They completely lose control of their bodies. It causes unconsciousness, hallucinations, numbing, and amnesia. It can also cause agitation, violence, confusion, and difficulty hearing, understanding, or speaking.

High blood pressure and potentially fatal breathing difficulties are real risks. Ketamine lowers the heart rate and can lead to oxygen starvation in the brain and muscles. Ketamine overdose can be fatal.
