What is GHB?

I believe you are referring to GHB, gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid is a naturally-occurring substance found in the central nervous system, wine, beef, small citrus fruits, and almost all animals in small amounts. It is also a neuroprotective therapeutic nutrient that is categorized as an illegal drug in many countries. It is currently regulated in the US and sold by Jazz Pharmaceuticals under the name Xyrem to treat cataplexy and excessive daytime sleepiness in patients with narcolepsy. GHB is naturally produced in the human body's cells and is structurally related to the ketone body beta-hydroxybutyrate. As a supplement/drug, it is used most commonly in the form of a salt. GHB is also produced as a result of fermentation, and so is found in small quantities in some beers and wines.

Is ghb a depresant or stimulant?

GHB has effects characteristic of both a depressant and a empathogenic stimulant. The drug acts on two distinct receptors in the brain: the GABAB receptor, and the GHB receptor. Its action on the GABAB receptor produces a powerful sedative, CNS inhibitory effect similar to alcohol or benzodiazepines. Through its action on the GHB receptor it exerts a excitatory effect on the brain leading to subjective effects of empathogenesis similar to MDMA. Its influence on this receptor is also responsible for the convulsions observed in GHB overdoses. GHB's effects are said to resemble a combination of alcohol and ecstasy.

Both of these areanalogs of GHB and enzymes in your body convert them to GHB. The freezing point of GHB is -3°C. You can find all this information if you just look at the SDS for each chemical. GHB: CAS # 591-81-1 GBL; CAS # 96-48-0 BDO; CAS # 110-63-4


How is gamma-hydroxybutyrate made?

Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) is usually made through synthesis from GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) or by converting gamma-butyrolactone (GBL) into GHB. These processes involve chemical reactions that transform precursor molecules into GHB. It is important to note that the production and use of GHB is heavily regulated due to its potential for abuse and associated risks.
