I am so sorry that happened to you, but TY for your first hand knowledge.
So, some drugs are very fast acting and don't last long.
Sounds so risky to give someone a drug that acts so fast in a public place
I guess timing is important
Thanks, it was just awful. And so unexpected, being a middle aged mom who was there for a work conference. And here I thought the roofies were reserved for the young kids! But seriously, it was terrible and I suspect the motive was a quick robbery. My friend and I both vomited within a few minutes of feeling the first effects, and have almost no memory of the 20 minutes or so that we were at our worst.
For example, she has no memory of me dragging her down the street, getting into the cab, or paying the cab driver, but she remembers walking into the lobby of our hotel and everything after that. I go dark mid-cab ride, also no memory of paying for the taxi, no memory of getting through the lobby or up to our room, absolutely nothing until my face hit the floor of our hotel room, where I passed out for 10 minutes. Then I just popped up, groggy but generally ok, undressed and washed my face, of all things, and crawled into bed thinking that we had somehow had too much to drink. But the next morning, sick as dogs, we compared notes and realized what had really happened. Luckily we weren't assaulted or robbed (I lost my phone but pretty sure it was not stolen, that I dropped it in the taxi or on the street) and a good samaritan helped us into a cab just in time. Had we both been incoherent at the same time, out on the side of the road in Vegas, who knows what would have happened to us.
BTW, we were on Fremont Street, never set our cups down but they were open topped plastic cups from one of the street bars down there. We were having a blast, listening to a great cover band, just dancing with the crowd. Would have been easy for someone nearby (or even a bartender) to drop something into the cup when we weren't looking. Lots of leaning in to hear people when they said something, leaving our drinks exposed, people constantly bumping into us. I've also been told by locals that bartenders there will sometimes take bribes to drug people for purposes of robbery.
It's possible that the effects of the drugs were supposed to act longer, however we didn't finish our full drinks. But as sick as I was, I can't imagine ingesting any more than I did. But maybe we would have been down for hours, had we finished our drinks.
Blech.
