Plus it is also in the very same class of sedatives as roofies. This is one discription below of it is from the Urban Dictionary which generally may not be all that accurate but still it does give you some idea about it. I used to know the chemical name of the class from where it comes from but I just cannot remember right off hand. It is actually descended from drugs andministered to mental patients since the sixties and before. I think benzodiazaprine is the word but I'm not quite sure.
Slang used by medical professionals for the drug Propofol which has a similar milky texture to Milk of Magnesia. Propofol is a short-acting sedative and hypnotic with no analgesic properties but is used in adjunct to anesthesia.
"That vent patient is getting twitchy. Give her some milk of amnesia."

A drink which, if consumed in sufficient quantities makes you forget large episodes of your life. A popular phrase due to its assonance with the patent medicine 'Milk of Magnesia'.

"Yes, I remember every bit of that. Just tell me how come I woke up this morning in the driver's seat of my car outside my house?"
"Put it down to the milk of amnesia."
I am not impressed by any credibility here.
Abuse of propofol as a recreational drug has been reported, usually among medical staff such as anaesthetists who have access to the drug.[18] However, abuse of the drug is rare due to its potency and the level of monitoring required to take it, and it has not been scheduled by the US Drug Enforcement Administration.[19] Despite a lack of analgesic properties, propofol's sedative action presumably produces euphoric effects. The steep dose response curve of the drug makes such abuse very dangerous without proper monitoring, and several deaths have been recorded.[20][21] News reports citing unnamed law enforcement sources suggest Diprivan was found by law enforcement officers in the home of Michael Jackson following his June 25, 2009 death. These reports are consistent with claims that the medication might have played a role in his death.[22]
this and the various discussions I have found on topic of the drug diprivan aka propofol, makes its use as a date rape drug somewhat problematic. Certainly possible, I suppose, although I would wonder a great deal. Especially when rufies and g are so much more available and easier to administer (disgusting thought).
