Kyle Krueger 4-13-05 WRA 115 ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY “Date Rape Drugs.” Men Against Sexual Assault. http://sa.rochester.edu/masa/drugs.php. (4 Mar 2005). This online publication was a short, but very well laid out source. It begins with a half page summary of several different characteristics date rape drugs include. The article explains the physical attributes the primary date rape drugs. The drugs, which are odorless and colorless when dissolved in a drink, can begin affecting the individual in a matter of fifteen minutes. The three major date rape drugs are then listed with bulleted information beneath each one. Rohypnol, also known as roofies, is a pill that is not legal in the United States, but is used in other countries as a sleeping pill. GHB and ketamine are also described in the same fashion. I found this to be a very credible site. It is involved with national organizations against the use of date rape drugs such as the MASA. I liked how the webpage was set up due to the organization. The information was short and to the point. The major drugs were displayed with bold text so they stood out on the page making it easy to get to the important information. I would rate this a very good source. “Rohypnol: The date rape drug.” BBC News World Edition. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/medical_notes/270247.st m. (1 Mar 2005). This news article was very descriptive towards one of the three major date rape drugs. It focused mainly on Rohypnol. Rohypnol is illegal in the United States, but is legal in Mexico, and Europe. Rohypnol is mainly used for spiking drinks and causes the individual to experience states of dizziness and lose of inhibitions. It comes in a pill form and is odorless, colorless and tasteless when dissolved in a drink. The article goes on to explain what a person can do if they think they have been slipped a pill. Once someone believes they have been given a Rohypnol, there is really little they can do. The drug kicks in, in a matter of minutes. Cases of sexual assault are often hard to trace back because they victim rarely can remember the situation that took place. A victim can take a urine test from a doctor to find if there are any traces of the drug in her system. Kyle Krueger 4-13-05 WRA 115 The Rohypnol can have up to an eight-hour effect on a user. The outline of the website was good for the publication. I thought the layout of this article was kind sloppy. It jumped around from topic to topic and did not provide very much specific detail. I liked how it was an article on one of the three major date rape drugs because it gave me a look at all aspects of what can be done about the prevention of its use. I would find this to be a credible source because it is coming from a national news company. The information seems to follow and agree with my other sources. Mitchell, Deborah. “A focus on two drugs used to commit RAPE.” OSU Police. http://www.osupd.okstate.edu/RapeDrugs.htm. (7 Mar 2005). This article has a great amount of detail and interesting information on two date rape drugs. The drugs of focus are Rohypnol and GHB. Rohypnol is legally available in 64 countries and is ten times more potent than Valium. It is referred to on the street as roofies, rope and rib. Once dissolved in a drink, it cannot be detected. It is hard to spot when someone has been drugged because they are in a state that has similar characteristics to being drunk. The drug leaves the body system in about 60-72 hours after being taken. If someone suspects they had been slipped a pill, they can have a urine test conducted. The article then goes on to explain the date rape drug, GHB. GHB is a clear liquid that can be easily disguised with food coloring. GHB has a salty taste to it and will turn a clear drink cloudy when dissolved. Cases of sexual assault on GHB are often a very horrible experience because the victims have a hard time remembering anything that happened while on the drug. It can even be hard to remember who the rapist was. Both drugs are very dangerous and have many harmful side affects. I thought this was a very well written article with tons of information. There were also pictures to go along side the article, which kept my attention on the screen. I think this is a very credible source because the author works for the Department for Public Safety and has seen many cases involving these two drugs. Overall, the layout of the article was excellent and it was filled with a lot of very useful facts about two serious drugs. Kyle Krueger 4-13-05 WRA 115 “NIDA Infofacts: Club Drugs.” National Institute of Drug Abuse. 05 September 2004. 4-7. 13 March 2005. <http://www.nida.nih.gov/Infofax/clubdrugs.html> This source is one of my more descriptive sites. It goes into more detail on each club drug and even goes into detail on Ecstasy. I was unaware that ecstasy was even considered a date rape drug. Ecstasy can be considered a date rape drug because it lowers the ambitions of the user and can even cause blackouts. It has been present in many reported cases of sexual assaults. Ecstasy can be more harmful and have more severe side effects than the other three major date rape drugs. If a user on ecstasy does not stay hydrated, they can die because the core body temperature raises so much. Ecstasy also has many effects on the human brain. If a person uses ecstasy on a regular basis, the brain can start to form holes in it damaging the thinking and other aspects of human abilities. This source is very credible and helpful because the National Institute of Drug Abuse wrote it. Drugs are what this institute focuses on and I find the information on this page was very helpful in understating what all my other sources are talking about. “Date Rape Drugs.” Brown University Health Education. http://www.brown.edu/Student_Services/Health_Services/Hea lth_Education/atod/drd.htm. (5 Mar 2005). This publication gives an overall explanation of what date rape drugs really are. Ketamine, GHB and Rohypnol are all considered date rape drugs because they are used to commit a crime. These crimes are usually sexual assault and rape. When a person intakes one of these drugs, they usually “blackout” and lose inhibition. All three date rape drugs produce the same kind of effects and are all colorless and odorless. Victims can have a urine test to detect if any of the three drugs are present in their system. All three drugs, if taken in massive amounts or mixed with alcohol, can have fatal results. I thought this source was very credible coming from the health education section of Brown University. The information was extremely easy to read and understand. It was a short article with some good information about all three date rape drugs. Kyle Krueger 4-13-05 WRA 115 “Date Rape Drugs.” 4Woman.gov. 7 May 03. 1-2. 16 March 05. <http://www.4woman.gov/faq/rohypnol.htm>. This source is one of the best I have found so far because it basically outlines all the main facts about date rape drugs. The website explains the three main date rape drugs and the ways they can be identified. It also gives the effects and what women can do if they find themselves in a situation involving any date rape drug. Some ways women can be helped if they suspect they have been slipped a pill are tell a friend or someone you know or tell an authority before the effects take their tole. The website also has a list of numbers where you can contact and receive further information or have any questions you have answered. This is a very credible site and is backed by a national organization for women. Staten, Clark. “'Roofies', The New "Date Rape" Drug of Choice.” The Emergency Net News.12 March 01. 1-3. 16 March 05.<http://www.emergency.com/roofies.htm.>. This is a very descriptive website focusing on one of the more common date rape drugs. It describes the drug known as “Roofies”, or known medically as Rohypnol. It goes into great detail about what the drug looks like and what you can expect the drug to come in. It usually comes in a pill form, but can be used in the powder form as well. It explains a short history or “roofies” and where it originated. The article explains how the drug can be mixed in with other drugs such as alcohol and cocaine to give a disguised more immediate affect. It is a short article, but it is very helpful with information on Rohypnol. I found it to be a very credible site because an ERRI drug abuse analyst wrote the article and this field is their job. “Date Rape Drugs - What You Need To Know About Them.” McKinley Health Center. 02 April 2000. 1-5. 17 March 2005. <http://www.mckinley.uiuc.edu/healthinfo/sexual/daterape/drape.html>. This is one of my most descriptive sources dealing with the three major date rape drugs again. These three drugs are Rohypnol, GHB, and Ketamine. It specifically gives street names for each drug and what you can expect each drug to look like. Street names for Rohypnol include roofies, rope, rip and the sleeping pill. This is a very good source because an analyst out of a medical center wrote Kyle Krueger 4-13-05 WRA 115 it. He goes into great detail on how each drug can be identified and the different forms they can come in. The article gives medical terms presented in an understandable format. I found that to be very convenient because I did not have to stop and look every other term up. This is a very credible site and the information is very descriptive and informative. Fitzgerald, N., and Riley K,.J. (2000). Drug-facilitated rape: looking for the missing pieces. National Institute of Justice Journal 243: 8-15. 07 March 2005. <http://www.edc.org/hec/drugs/club-drugs.html> This is a very large website with many different links to every aspect of a date rape drug you can imagine. There is a link for the effects, ways to prevent, laws and several other fields that involve or deal with any of the three major date rape drugs. On the webpage, it allows you to pick what you want to learn about. There is really no need to go searching through a ton of unneeded information because it is bulleted into major topics. The best part about this website it that it explains in good detail several laws that deal with date rape drugs. I never knew that these drugs were as serious as they are. The article I read on this webpage made me really realize how big of a problem these drugs are on college campuses. I found this source to be very credible and very helpful in my search for information. “Ecstasy and GHB.” D.A.A.P.:Information on Ecstasy and GHB. http://www.daap.ca/factsonecstacy.html. (7 MAR 2005). Kyle Krueger 4-13-05 WRA 115 This particular source was very helpful on providing more in depth information about ecstasy and GHB. The webpage first describes ecstasy. Most users feel an initial rush with feelings of nervousness, tingling and an uncertain feeling in the stomach followed by a warm euphoric glow lasting 4 6 hours, when the user feels calm and happy. When taken, the effects take between 20 minutes and one hour to appear after swallowing the pill. The first feeling a user will feel are 'butterflies in the stomach', a dry mouth, dilated pupils and various tingling sensations. Depression or moodiness may follow in the days following ecstasy use as well as general tiredness and hunger. Some women find that their periods become irregular or stop, while other have found that their periods become heavier and longer. Although MDMA does not produce a physical dependency, some users have become psychologically addicted to it. In order to achieve the same effect soon after, a larger dose has to be taken. Any period of abstinence will reduce tolerance and this builds up very quickly. GHB is a colorless liquid, which comes in small bottles. The National Drug Intelligence Service reported in May 1994 that approximately 200 people had received hospital treatment after taking this drug. None of these cases resulted in death, but it still shows that GHB is nothing to be taken lightly. It has been sold as a drug that makes sex go with a bang, but there is no evidence that it can do any more for your sex life than the way alcohol might "loosen you up a bit". Both of these drugs are nothing to mess around with and can have serious health risks if taken regularly. I found this site to be very credible. It was short and got right to the point. It did not dilly dally around with random statistics or information. I did not know GHB could be as serious as it is. Overall, this is an excellent source. Arnold, Ryan M. McGeorge Law Review. LexisNexis (2004). http://web.lexis-nexis.com/universe/document.html> (4 Mar 2005). This law review was very interesting to me for many reasons. First, I have never read a law review and I found it to be very informative. This particular law review dealt with a ketamine drug smuggling ring. In 2002, two veterinarians Kyle Krueger 4-13-05 WRA 115 approached the California Board of Pharmacy with complaints about potential inappropriate dispensing of dangerous drugs through Internet pharmacy websites. This basically means that anybody in the animal business such as pet store owners, could easily access dangerous drugs such as ketamine as long as they were prescribed for animal use. The California government then uncovered a veterinarian and colleagues involved in smuggling tons of ketamine into the country from Mexico. Both the veterinarian and supplier in Mexico were prosecuted because ketamine is considered a “dangerous drug”. I thought this was a good law review. Some of the terms got me a little confused, but for the most part I enjoyed reading about this incident. It was cool to learn how some of these drugs actually enter the country without questioning. Mitner, Kevin S. Law Review. LexisNexis (2004). http://web.lexisnexis.com/universe/drugs.html> (15 Mar 2005). This was a law review that I had an extremely hard time understanding. The article talks about how a man was accused of giving and individual a pill of Rohypnol and raping her. The man stated he was unaware and had nothing to do with the use of the drug. The woman in the case stated that he was the last man she was with throughout the night and when she woke up in the morning there was a condom wrapper next to her bed. The man, who was a 21 year old, claimed he had not even gone home with her and had seen the woman leave in another man’s arms. That is when the review got a little confusing for me. After that they started talking about all of these laws that could possibly be brought into the case. I personally feel the man in the situation was innocent. The court ruled in favor of the man with lack of evidence. I did not enjoy reading this law review at all. Half way through, I didn’t know what the hell was going on in the story. I felt it was very confusing and disorganized.
