Rohypnol is a sleeping pill and has similar effects to that of Valium, except it is ten times more powerful. The victim commonly experiences short-term amnesia. Buddy Peaster, public safety captain, says that it is hard to find evidence to use in a rape trial if the victim is given rohypnol because often, the victim does not remember being raped. The drug comes in a pill form in doses of 1 and 2 milligrams. Though Rohypnol is illegal in the United States, it is legal and produced in Europe.
Police suspect that Rohypnol is being shipped throughout Georgia from out of Atlanta.
