GHB

GHB (gammahydroxybutyrate), also known as G, GBH, and liquid ecstasy, is a popular drug on the club scene, giving users an alcohol-like high with powerful sexual effects. It is also used by body-builders to help stimulate muscle growth. It is a Class B drug in New Zealand meaning that dealing and possession of the drug is illegal.
