THIS MAKES NO SENSE. She was charged for a DWI (and thank god she was ok and didn't hurt anyone) and she's never drove drunk and never would, she wasn't even supposed to drive that night. She has absolutely NO recollection of waht happened until she was laying in a ditch. (and no her bf didn't and wouldn't drug her)
I've looked up some articles, and obviously they list the dangers of these drugs, but this is one that seemed the most similar. My question to all of you is: what do you know about these drugs?
have you heard of this happening before?
what should she do?
I've already urged her to get a blood and urine test done to see if these drugs are in her system, but she has no health insurance. I said that it would help her during her court case, but I'm in NY and she's in Missouri and I can't get down there within the next 10 hours to take her.
so... any suggestions? thank you in advance!
here's the article i found:

A quick search shows no evidence at all that GHB or anything similar can increase BAC - so yeah, your buddy was probably pretty drunk, well beyond what 3 drinks should do to most people (although if she got to 5 or 6, depending on body weight, she could get there without problem I would guess).
This doesn't mean she didn't get slipped something, just that it affected her recall - she needs an attorney and she needs to find a hospital for testing, immediately. It's not difficult to test for GHB or Ketamine, it's a simple urine test IIRC and available at most hospitals (I've recently taken a friend to have one performed at a local ER).
