GHB
Gamma Hydroxybutyric Acid (GHB): There are three kinds of GHB abusers: those who take the drug to get high, those who use it in bodybuilding, and those who commit sexual assault after drugging their victims.
GHB is also frequently used in combination with Ecstasy to counter over-stimulation. It is frequently taken with alcohol and is often found at bars, parties, nightclubs, raves and gyms.
Credit: Walz Tetrick Advertising GHB is often called the "date-rape" drug. Because of its effect on memory, GHB causes users to forget many details surrounding a sexual assault. GHB is quickly eliminated from a user's system, and it is sometimes hard to confirm its presence during rape investigations.
Samantha Reid was just 15 years old when she went to the movies with some high school friends. GHB or GBL was slipped into her soft drink that night. She was taken to the hospital with no vital signs and died after 18 hours on life support. Two boys from her high school are now serving 5 1/2 to 15 years in prison for the manslaughter death of Samantha. For more information see: www.ghbkills.org.
