“I want this book to sound the alarm about the prevalence of chemical submission in France and around the world. The general public must be made aware that the practice goes far beyond date-rape cocktails in night clubs. Everyone should take a wary look inside their medicine cabinet: antianxiety drugs, sleeping pills, and a host of other mind-altering substances have been used as arms of sexual assault. It is an epidemic that touches all social classes. Regular memory lapses should set alarm bells ringing. If it happens to you, tell your doctor, and ask for toxicology screening.”
