what is ghb​

Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate (GHB) is a central nervous system depressant that is often referred to as a “club drug” or “date rape” drug. It is known for its euphoric and sedative effects and is sometimes used illicitly in social settings like bars, parties, and clubs1. GHB can also be used by bodybuilders for its purported anabolic effects.

Medically, GHB is used in the form of sodium oxybate (brand name Xyrem) to treat narcolepsy, a sleep disorder. However, the illicit use of GHB is associated with significant risks, including loss of consciousness, memory loss, and potential for overdose1.
