In
the last few years, GHB (gammahydroxybutyrate) has become popular on
the rave scene, with users enjoying an alcohol-like high with potent
positive sexual effects.
GHB is a fairly low toxicity substance with medical and recreational
uses. It affects the release of dopamine in the brain, causing
effects ranging from relaxation to sleep at low doses.
The drug is usually sold in small 30ml plastic containers and
consumed in capfuls. A small capful can make you feel uninhibited,
exhilarated, relaxed and feeling good with the effects lasting as
long as day, although it is difficult to give a clear 'safe' dose,
as the concentration of the liquid will vary.
Bigger doses can lead to disorientation, nausea, a numbing of the
muscles or muscle spasms and vomiting.
The drug can take anything from 10 minutes to an hour to take
effect, so wait until the first hit kicks in before taking any more.
Its strength varies wildly, so always take a small amount first.
Because of it's disabling effects, you are exposed to the threat of
sexual assault, so be very, very wary of who you're with.
Increasingly, there have been reports of the drug being used as a
'date rape' drug with victims being slipped the drug via alcohol, or
in coffee, tea or hot chocolate (it is almost tasteless).
