General Information
GHB (Gamma-Hydroxybutyric Acid) is a CNS depressant used as intoxicant.
History
GHB was synthesized and introduced into medicine in 1960 and in 1963 discovered as a naturally occurring chemical in the human brain.

Chemistry and Pharmacology
Production
Production of GHB consists simply of mixing "lactone" (short for gamma butyrlactone) and lye (sodium hydroxide) in the proper amounts. It can also be converted from GBL.
Legal
GHB is illegal in most parts of the world, GBL is legal in parts of Europe.
