Talk:Date rape drug

message: The article quotes a newspaper article from 22 years ago.  It criticizes some studies conducted prior to the article, but there have been a number of studies since then.  The article and its conclusion aren't relevant anymore.  If the author of this section would like to find something more recent to support his theories, then it should be added, otherwise the stuff from The Blade will be deleted. It's all tangential anyway.  This is an article about date rape drugs, but I guess the title attracts editors who want to express their opinion on the existence or non-existence of rape on college campuses. 24.190.51.21 (talk) 03:09, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: In addition, the paragraph about the Blade article is unclear. In the sentence "According to The Blade, the study specifically ignored an Ohio statute that excluded '… situations where a person plies his intended partner with drink or drugs in hopes that lowered inhibition might lead to a liaison,'" the reader doesn't know (1) from what did the Ohio statute exclude such situations? and (2) In what sense, and with what effect, did the study ignore the Ohio statute? As it stands, the ratio of words to information is very very high. Wegesrand (talk) 12:33, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

message: Formerly the "rohypnol" section said something about a paper by Michael Robertson, but I could not find a direct citation. Did find a citation for the other stat though so have added it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hamishtodd1 (talk • contribs) 15:30, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

message: It appears the sole single reference inserted in this section comes from a "student newspaper" and I was unable to find other more credible sources. Student-run newspapers are probably not the best sources for encyclopedic authority, though I can find no references that state either way (e.g. no sourcces prove or disprove) as to what is claimed in the article with respect to Zolpidem. 98.178.191.34 (talk) 22:20, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

message: There is information that I was not able to find anywhere - that may be very helpful to people reading this article, and some editors of this article may have actual access to it:</br>
The COST associated with performing blood test for most common Date Rape Drugs</br>
The reason for that is that based on some articles I encountered recently, it may be possible for victim testing being suppressed at times as a mean to "solve" high crime-rates by some of the so called 1'st world governing bodies using excuse of DRD testing being "too expensive" robbing victims out of their opportunity to report such crimes (especially since I expect many victims or smarter insurers would pay if amount was reasonable) yet no one including labs and test producers is willing to disclose anything that could help identify the price...
