GHB |
| Description | | GHB is either in an odorless, colorless liquid form or a white powder material. It is usually ingested in a liquid mixture; most commonly mixed with alcohol. GHB has become popular among teens and young adults at dance clubs and "raves". Body builders sometimes use GHB for its alleged anabolic effects. |  | | Effects | | In lower doses, GHB causes drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, and visual disturbances. At higher dosages, unconsciousness, seizures, severe respiratory depression, and coma can occur. Overdoses usually require emergency room treatment, including intensive care for respiratory depression and coma. GHB has been used in the commission of sexual assaults because it renders the victim incapable of resisting, and may cause memory problems that could complicate case prosecution. | |
