There’s something deeply disturbing about how internet groups allow perverts and criminals to hype each other up into thinking they’re okay to be doing what they do

Very scary stuff. Shame certain details basically discredit the entire thing. "Rohypnol and GHB fall within the benzodiazepine family" is so fundamentally incorrect I'm not sure what to say. And zolpidem is rather strictly a hypnotic, it will in no way entirely sedate you enough (at any dose) that you'd stay passed out if someone forces your eye open. Though you might not remember anything afterwards. This is the same reason z-drugs don't cause proper physical dependency like benzos do, action is much more narrowly targeted. Anyways, I was sexually assaulted (well molested and woke up before anything more could occur) once and still sometimes basically violently fly out of bed when startled awake. Something about body integrity and how vulnerable one is while asleep gets a bit primal somehow. Can't believe adding drugging and actual rape and it being ones partner to it would do any good...
