Street Names Description Sometimes it's a colorless, odorless, and slightly salty tasting liquid. (People often mix it into juices.) Sometimes it's a powder or a capsule. GHB (gamma hydroxybutyrate), a central nervous system depressant, was banned by the FDA in 1990. Use Gamma hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) produces a wide range of effects, drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, amnesia, visual hallucinations, severe respiratory depression, and coma. GHB is often combined in a carbonated, alcohol, or health food drink, and is reportedly popular among adolescents and young adults attending raves and nightclubs. Dangers and Effects Overdose frequently requires emergency room care and many GHB-related fatalities have been reported. 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. Since GHB has no odor or color, and because its taste is so subtle, there have been many cases of people slipping it into other people's drinks. People slip it into other people’s drinks so they can take advantage of them. For additional drug information and street names please visit http://www.streetdrugs.org |
