What is GHB and it's Effects?

GHB has been used by sexual predators to lower the defenses of women. These effects along with it's ability to induce coma and amnesia cause this drug to be added to the Date Rape drug category.

When the drug is in a powder form, it is quite easy to measure a dose. When it is a liquid, there is a wide range of concentrations. That results in a single dose that could be a few drops or it could be a full glass. GHB has been used by a number of body builders to help promote the growth of muscles. GHB is also considered to be a recreational drug, primarily among people who frequent raves and other parties.

When small amounts are taken of this drug, it is known that it will help reduce anxiety and also help a person relax. However, when it is combines with other types of drugs, it can produce bad effects such as nausea, and difficulty breathing. It can also cause anxiety, sweating, tremors and bad effects from withdrawal.
