Gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) also known as CG, Georgia home boy, liquid ecstasy, and scoop,is a depressant drug that causes extreme muscle relaxation and a clouded state of mind. It is a chemically made powder that can be compressed into a tablet or made into a liquid. It is colorless, odorless and tasteless which allows a person to easily slip GHB into someone's drink and drug them. Usually to either rape or kidnap the unsuspecting victim. The drug gives the user some memory loss and lack of muscle control which includes breathing and movement. This also distorts sensory input, putting the user in a vulnerable state in which they could be manipulated, and when mixed with alcohol GHB can be lethal. Heavy or extended use can result in minor brain damage such as slurred speech and risk of comatose and death.
