What is GHB?
Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) is also known as 'fantasy', 'grievous bodily
harm' ('GBH'), 'liquid ecstasy' and 'liquid E'. It is classed as a depressant
drug that contains sedative and, at sufficient doses, anaesthetic properties.
Depressant drugs slow down the activity of the brain and other parts of the
central nervous system.
Alcohol, heroin
and benzodiazepines
are drugs that also have depressant effects.
