The question was did a medical professional say you were spiked with a drug? They could easily test for it.

Claiming the drug was "pretty much" outlawed in Dublin is ludicrous. How would that even vaguely work?

Can you explain why the Rape Crisis Centre say it hasn't happened in Ireland?

I had my drink spiked in a bar by someone in a group of people that I considered friends. I bought my own drink at the bar and put it on the table myself. It probably happened while I was in the toilet. That was back in the 90's. I'd been drinking coke and hadn't had any alcohol or drugs. Making sweeping statements that nobody in Ireland has ever had their drink spiked is utterly ridiculous. Most people whose drink has been spiked wouldn't have the ability to even think of going to a hospital. The whole point of spiking someone's drink is to incapacitate them and confuse them.

Many rapes and sexual assaults aren't reported, it's even more likely that someone who was raped or sexually assaulted after having their drink spiked wouldn't report it as they'd possibly feel that they'd be less likely to be believed. . I hope you and nobody close to you ever experiences it. It's awful and it's terrifying, and it's even worse when you know that it was done by someone you trusted. As for the Rape Crisis Centre, give me a break, that crowd think are out of touch with reality on a lot of things.

I'm fairly certain it was impossible to get them in Dublin at some point towards the end of the nineties or beginning of the noughties, though not sure if it was the unavailability in pharmacies, or doctors in the capital had some sort of policy of not prescribing them, I know people who really had a taste for such and if they could have got them in Dublin then they would have, but I clearly remember they had to go outside the capital to source, though only as far as Kildare so it was only a slight inconvenience.

You could be correct about the lack of usage in spiking drinks though, it was probably just a reputation they had due to one bad case in some other country.

So you know more than people who specilise in a particular area? What are they actually out of touch with that you have so much more knowledge on. If people specialising in rape services aren't seeing drinks spiked then statistacilly you can be sure it is not happening. They aren't going to get a report of all rapes but they will get a large sample size which would show the use of drugs. They have had many claims and drug tests showed it was not the case. Many people claims the drugs fly through your system so can't be tested for but that is just part of the urban legends about it.

People certainly have had drinks spiked by "friends" but not for the purposes of rape. Had it done to me as a "joke" because I didn't want to do acid. Not a nice thing to do but had a fine night and it wasn't to rape me. Just one idiot who I cut out of my life because he was an a**hole

Nice way to avoid answering all the issues with your "personal" knowledge you have compared experts. You comment on "outlawed" perceription drugs in Dublin is still ludicrous.
