Did you know? Gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB),
also known as G, Liquid X, Saltwater, Scoop, and Easy Lay, is a highly
addictive deppresant that causes quick sedation. Its effects include
drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, headaches, dizziness, coma, and even death. Much
of the United States first took notice of GHB in the mid-1990s, when dozens of
women across the nation reported waking up naked, bruised, and with no memory
of what had happened the night before. Police learned that men had spiked their
drinks with GHB and then raped the women after they lost consciousness. Death
from taking GHB usually occurs when victims fall on their face and smother or
aspirate on their own vomit. Drug abuse agencies nationwide have placed more
emphasis on the dangers of GHB as treatment centers across the country have
reported increases in GHB addiction and overdose.
