Here in Beijing, at least, I routinely get SMS ads for various illegal things including roofies sent to my phone. Looks like someone's responding to them.

There was a big spate of these in Sydney and Perth (Australia) a few years back. The police and community services were obviously concerned and started a massive investigation. Over the course of a 2 or 3 month period everyone who claimed to have been a victom of a date rape drug was blood tested some 15 or 20 people (including a couple of boys) and not a single one of them tested positive to Roofie or any other `date rape drug'. Is it real or is it an urban legend?

That's terrible and the people who do it should have their balls ripped out. Hopefully some campaign can be started in Shanghai to warn people, as Chinese people may not be aware of it and expats may take some 'safety' of China for granted.

From a reader who wanted to remain anonymous: I am pretty sure I was roofied at bar rouge this last Saturday night. I had one drink and thankfully I was with my boyfriend who took care of me, but all of the symptoms were there including, completely blacked out, vomitting, unable to walk/stand, incoherent. This happened after one cocktail at bar rouge. Just a heads up that there may be something going on and that there are probably a lot of uneducated people in Shanghai. Thanks.

why am I not surprised this happened at Bar Rouge?
