Is there a common Cleaner or solvent that contains Gamma Butyrolactone?

Yes, Gamma Butyrolactone (GBL) is sometimes used as a solvent in products such as paint strippers, stain removers, and surface cleaners. However, its use has been restricted or banned in many places due to its potential health risks and abuse as a recreational drug. It is important to always read product labels and safety information before using any cleaner or solvent.


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.


What is the designer drug?

Designer drug is a term used to describe psychoactive drugs which are created (or marketed, if they had already existed) to get around existing drug laws, usually by modifying the molecular structures of existing drugs to varying degrees, or less commonly by finding drugs with entirely different chemical structures that produce similar subjective effects to illegal recreational drugs.In the United States, the Controlled Substances Act was amended by the Controlled Substance Analogue Enforcement of 1986, which attempted to ban designer drugs pre-emptively by making it illegal to manufacture, sell, or possess chemicals that were substantially similar in chemistry and pharmacology to Schedule I or Schedule II drugs. Other countries have dealt with the issue differently. In some, they simply ban new drugs as they become a concern, as do Germany, Canada, and the United Kingdom.Most of the best known research chemicals are structural analogues of tryptamines or phenethylamines, but there are also many other completely unrelated chemicals which can be considered as part of the group. It is very difficult to determine psychoactivity or other pharmaceutical properties of these compounds based strictly upon structural examination. Many of the substances have common effects whilst structurally different and vice versa. As a result of no real official naming for some of these compounds, as well as regional naming, this can all lead to (and is anecdotally known to have led to) potentially hazardous mix ups for users. Some common designer drugs include:Opioids* α-methylfentanyl, became well known as "China White" on the heroin market * parafluorofentanyl * 3-methylfentanyl, extremely potent opioid, allegedly used as a chemical weapon by the Russian military in the Moscow theater hostage crisis * MPPP, especially famous due to an impurity in some batches called MPTP which caused permanent Parkinsonism with a single useTryptamine-based* 4-Acetoxy-DiPT, N,N-diisopropyl-4-acetoxytryptamine * 5-MeO-AMT, 5-methoxy-alpha-methyltryptamine * 5-MeO-DIPT, 5-methoxy-di-isopropyltryptamine (also known as "Foxy" or "Foxy Methoxy") * 5-MeO-DMT, 5-methoxy-dimethyltryptamine * AMT, α-methyltryptamine * AET, α-ethyltryptamine * DiPT, N,N-diisopropyl-tryptamine * DPT, N,N-dipropyltryptaminePhenethylamine-based* 2C-B, 4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine * 2C-C, 2,5-dimethyoxy-4-chlorophenethylamine * 2C-I, 2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenethylamine * 2C-E, 2,5-dimethoxy-4-ethyl-phenethylamine * 2C-T-2, 2,5-dimethoxy-4-ethylthiophenethylamine * 2C-T-7, 2,5-dimethoxy-4-(n)-propylthiophenethylamine * 2C-T-21, 2,5-dimethoxy-4-(2-fluoroethylthio)phenethylamine * MDMA, 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine * MDEA, 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-ethylamphetamine * DOB, 2,5-dimethoxy-4-bromoamphetamine * DOM, 2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylamphetamine * TMA-2, 2,4,5-Trimethoxyamphetamine * PMA, a highly dangerous analogue of MDMA responsible for many accidental deathsPCP analogues* TCP, 1-[1-(2-thienyl)-cyclohexyl]-piperidine or thienylcyclohexylpiperidine * PCE, (1-Phenylcyclohexyl)ethylamine * PCPy, 1-(1-phenylcyclohexyl)pyrrolidine * 4-MeO-PCPPiperazine-based* BZP, benzylpiperazine * TFMPP, 3-Trifluoromethylphenylpiperazine, has the unique distinction of being the only drug to be emergency scheduled into Schedule I and then allowed to become legal because the DEA was unable to justify permanent scheduling * mCPP, 1-(3-chlorophenyl)piperazine * pFPP, 1-(4-fluorophenyl)piperazineSteroids* Norbolethone * THG, "The Clear" * Madol (sometimes confusingly referred to as "DMT")Stimulants* Geranamine * 4-Methylaminorex * MDPV * Desoxypipradrol * Diphenylprolinol * MephedroneSedatives* GBL, gamma-butyrolactone, both a precursor to and substitute for GHB * 1,4-Butanediol, another GHB analogue * Methylmethaqualone, an analogue of the sedative methaqualone * MebroqualoneErectile dysfunction* Acetildenafil * Aminotadalafil * Homosildenafil * Hydroxyacetildenafil * Hydroxyhomosildenafil * Piperidino-acetildenafil * Piperidino-vardenafilCannabinoids* THC-O-acetate * JWH-018 - found as an active ingredient in herbal smoking blends such as "Spice". * JWH-073 * JWH-200 * CP 47,497 * CP 55,940
