Clinton signs tough law on date rape drug
President Clinton signed a bill to stiffen federal penalties for possession and distribution of GHB, a date rape drug linked to at least 88 deaths since 1990. The drug, odorless and colorless, can render a victim unconscious in 20 minutes and often forgotten. GHB would be classified among the most restricted substances with up to 20 years in prison for offenders.
