Gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB) is an artificial drug that slows down the central nervous system, causing relaxation and feelings of extreme joy and excitement. It is often used as a drug for pleasure and sometimes prescribed for medical conditions like narcolepsy. GHB can be found as a liquid or powder and is usually taken orally. Its effects can include sleepiness, reduced self-control, and in higher doses, unconsciousness or coma. GHB is known for its potential to cause dangerous side effects such as breathing problems, seizures, and memory issues. Additionally, GHB is associated with drug-assisted sexual assault because of its calming effects and ability to cause loss of consciousness in individuals. Because of these risks, its use is strictly controlled in many countries.
