Date Rape Drug Back on the Market?

As said in Hangover
- "I always wondered why they were called roofies. Cause you're more likely to end up on the floor than the roof. They should call em groundies."
- "Or rapies."

Back in 2000, Gamma-Hydroxybutyric Acid (GHB) was taken off the market because creepers were using it as a date-rape drug. Well a pharmaceutical company is re-branding the drug Rekinla and hoping to get the FDA approval for it to be prescribed to patients suffering from fybromyalgia. Although they have stated there will be strict guidelines and regulations as to who can prescribe and who can be prescribed to, it is still a risky drug to release back into the market.
