LCD Where You Cannot See

So we've all heard about the "date rape drug", right? I'm sure you're parents, teachers, and maybe even friends have warned you about it while at parties. But you think to yourself; it won't happen to me. That's the kind of thing that happens to "other" people. Well, if that's what you think, it's time to wise up. There are predators EVERYWHERE out there, just WAITING to slip a roofie into your drink. I used to think it'd never happen to me, or anyone I know, until this past December. Fortunately for me, I wasn't drugged, but my friend on the other hand was not so lucky. A group of friends and I went back to our home town for a party during Christmas Break. We are from a really small town, with a population of 888 people, so we didn't think anything bad could happen. After all, that only happens in big cities right? The night went pretty well, but a friend and I (who weren't drinking) didn't feel like staying so we went home for the night.

We found out the day after that one of the girls that went with us to the party went to the hospital that morning. We got a hold of her and asked her what was up and she told us that she woke up in her car, not knowing what happened the night before, and feeling really sick. We were thinking, ok whatever, you just drank too much. Typical night; no biggy. What she told us next shocked us: she went to the doctors and told them what happened, so they gave her a drug test. When the results came back they were positive for LSD; of which she has never in her life taken. She was shocked, appalled, and in disbelief. She wanted to know what happened that night so we talked to a few of the people who saw her that night. We found out that she had taken off all her clothes, and some guys were dragging her around the house, laughing the entire time. She had absolutely no recollection of it. Everyone that we talked to said she just "disappeared" and know one knew where she was for the remainder of the night. She still doesn't know what exactly happened to her that night, but she now knows to never, EVER, let her drink out of her site. I myself know that I've set my drink down on something and walked away for a little bit and came back and drank it. I won't ever do that again, this I know for sure, but it's just too bad something like this had to happen to open up our eyes. So don't be dumb and think it can't happen to you because it can. Would you rather chance it, or just hold your drink? Think about it.
