GHB
is both a sedative and a steroid, formerly sold in many health food stores
to promote body-building. Now illegal, GHB usually comes as a liquid,
pill or powder with slightly salty taste. At low doses, GHB produces relaxation,
but can also interfere with speech, balance and motor control. At higher
doses, nausea, vomiting may occur. GHB also induces sleep, which in combination
with other drugs, particularly alcohol, may result in coma or death. Often
used as a "date rape" drug, because drug is difficult to
detect in a drink.
