GHB, better know as the “date rape drug” is a clear liquid and looks just like water and used by drinking it, GHB has a salty taste.  It is also a white powder, but not as common as the liquid.  GHB depresses the central nervous system.  GHB is very dose sensitive; a person can very easily overdose and go into a comma.  Addicts rely on GHB for sleeping when coming down off stimulants; it has also been used by some as an anti-depressant.  Once a person has become dependant on GHB a dose is required at regular intervals during the day.  GHB withdrawal is similar to alcohol withdrawal, and heavy users should be advised to seek medical withdrawal.

GHB is very dangerous and even more dangerous when used in combination with alcohol and other drugs.  GHB was initially used by body builders to stimulate muscle growth, now it is more commonly used by partygoers and young adults who are seeking “high”.
