Ms Amelia Bulower: "Never. I don't believe in hypnotism -- or I didn't, anyway. I'm as certain as I'm sitting here that it was all due to that gas I got hit with. Have you ever heard of any kind of a gas that could put somebody in a trance in only a second or two?" Sergeant Grafton:"No, absolutely not. There are three kinds of drugs you usually get associated with non-consentual sex: there's Rohynol, Ketamine and GHB. They're in liquid or pill format and almost always used to spike a woman's drink. They heighten the effect of the alcohol, to cause loss of inhibitions and often amnesia as well. The after effects are usually pretty bad too, like a magnified hangover. Did you feel that way?" Ms Amelia Bulower:"I guess I lost my inhibitions, that's true, but it was like I had to do whatever I was told without argument. Unbelievable, I guess. But I remember everything, I never felt physically ill and the effects seem to linger on. I was told not to talk about what happened to anybody and if you hadn't come here I don't think I would have. How long do the effects of these other drugs last for?"
