Although it is readily available in Mexico, it is illegal lo bring into or possess Rohypnol in the United Stales, ll comes in I mg ar. I 2mg white, round tablets similar to aspirin bul wilh no taste, no odor and no color. It is often dissolved in a drink. The effects last from a minimum of 8 hours up to 72 hours. The combination of alcohol and Rohypnol intensifies the possible effects and is more likely lo result in death. It has been dropped in the drinks of unsuspecting males and females and used in sexual assaults. That is why it has been called the "dale-rape" drag. UTSA's zero tolerance for drugs means, ifyou use, possess or sell drugs on the UTSA campus you face eviction within 24-hours from campas housing and immediate expulsion from the University.
