GHB (Gammahydroxybutyrate)
Recently, GHB has become popular as a drug of abuse with nicknames "Grievous Bodily Harm", Scoop, Liquid Ecstasy, Liquid X and Somatox. GHB is a powder that is odorless and tasteless and can be slipped into someone's drink undetected. When ingested, GHB can cause sleepiness, low blood pressure, dizziness, nausea, visual disturbances, seizures and coma. When mixed with alcohol or certain depressants, the effects can be deadly. GHB takes effect on an individual in approximately 15-20 minutes and lasts for 2-6 hours. Because GHB is a sedative, it is also used as a date rape drug. Victims might be unaware that they have ingested the drug until the effects are well under way. A typical dose for illicit use is 1 teaspoon of the powder dissolved in water.
