Alcohol number one 'date rape' drug: Study

Alcohol is the number one "date rape" drug in New Zealand, according to an Environmental Science & Research (ESR) study.
ESR looked at 500-plus drug-related sexual assaults and found that in more than 80 per cent of the cases the victims were drunk.
The figures were similar to overseas studies.
The findings were presented at workshops organised by ESR for investigators of sexual assault.
ESR toxicologist Diana Kappatos said in cases where specimens were collected less than eight hours after the alleged incident alcohol was found in 83 per cent.
In all cases where alcohol was found, 90 per cent were over the 80mg drink-driving limit. In 54 per cent of these cases, the blood alcohol level was more than 150mg.
Cannabis was the next most frequently found drug - present in 147 of the 538 cases studied.
"Drink spiking does happen in New Zealand and our study found specific incidents of it," Ms Kappatos said.
"But this data also shows that people need to not only look after their drink to ensure no one is adding anything to it but also look after themselves and monitor what they are being encouraged to take or are voluntarily taking themselves."
FBI chief toxicologist Dr Marc LeBeau said that in the United States alcohol was considered the most prevalent drug associated with sexual assaults, but was rarely recognised as a "date rape" drug because of its social acceptance.

Having dated a woman that had been raped, I would never wish that fate upon anybody for any reason. Nobody deserves to be raped, period.

WOW! What a shocking study. And to think... it only took until 2008 to figure that out.

It's too bad more people, especially mushroom users, didn't stop drinking alcohol altogether. It's fine in moderation, but no one really cares for moderation. People should only do things that will benefit them. There's nothing to benefit from getting trashed, sorry folks.

If you read the article, there was no mention of pot being used as a rape drug. It is simply stated that it was the second-most common drug metabolite found in the study. This doesnt mean that pot was used to rape these people, but that these people that had been raped happened to use pot. Also, it's good to note that THC metabolites stick with people for a fair amount of time, and that the person could have smoked pot as many as 3 weeks (or more) prior to the rape. Alcohol can be traced in your blood/urine for only a limited amount of time -- hours compared to pot's weeks.
If you want to look at it another way, consider somebody who has a drug test coming up, so they stop smoking weed 2 weeks before the test. Depending on the person, their UA may show THC metabolites even though they havn't smoked in the past weeks.

I'm not sure I'd call it subtle, but otherwise you're bang on.

Still, you wont see alcohol more heavily controlled. But yet poor old pot still has a bad rap.
