What is GHB?

As a street drug, GHB is a man-made chemical
that comes from illegal labs. Odourless and tasteless, dissolves easily in liquid; drowsy effects have been used to prevent victims from resisting sexual assault. GHB use can cause amnesia, so once the effects of it have worn off, users may not remember what happened while under the influence.
Use of GHB started mainstreaming in the 90’s
