About Rohypnol (Roofies)

Rohypnol, also commonly known as Roofies, is the brand name for Flunitrazepam, which is a depressant that belongs to the benzodiazepine class. Although this a Schedule IV substance and has no legal use in the United States, it is still commonly smuggled into the country for illegal use. The drug was originally created in the form of white pills.

This drug played a starring role in the popular comedy "The Hangover," but the real-life ramifications of abuse may be severe.
