Yes, gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) is classified as a central nervous system depressant. It can produce effects such as sedation, relaxation, and euphoria, but it can also lead to decreased heart rate and respiratory function at higher doses. Due to its potential for abuse and dangerous side effects, GHB is tightly regulated in many countries.
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.
Yes, GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyric acid) is commonly found in liquid form. It is a central nervous system depressant that is often ingested as a clear liquid or mixed into beverages.
Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) is a central nervous system depressant that is commonly used as a recreational drug. It is also sometimes prescribed to treat narcolepsy. GHB can cause euphoria, relaxation, and drowsiness, but it is also associated with potential risks such as addiction, overdose, and memory loss.
No. They are two completely different drugs. GHB is one of the most commonly used date-rape drugs. It is a strong depressant that makes you black out for hours, and when you wake up you have no idea what you've been doing (or what has been done to you). Some people do take tiny amounts of GHB recreationally, though. Ecstasy (MDMA) is a stimulant. You can't fall asleep on Ecstasy, nor will you black out on Ecstasy. It is also a mild hallucinogen, which GHB is not. Basically, Ecstasy is for dancing at clubs and having fun, and GHB is for incapacitating people so you can rape them.
It is the main ingredient of GHB. It can also be taken on it's own as a powerful depressant, but bear in mind that it is also an industrial solvent, so the health risks are massive.
It is a hypnotic/sedative agent with amnestic properties. It causes significant drowsniness and then sleep, followed by difficulty or inability recalling what happened during the time of extreme drowsiness.
Rave drugs that are generally taken would be Hallucinogenics or Stimulants. Depressants are not much for partying all night. Drugs like marijuana, ecstacy, MDMA, methamphetamines, psilocybin mushrooms, GHB, etc. are all known drugs at the rave scene which are all either stimulants or hallucinogenics.
Learn organic chemistry, But, if you want a basic idea google "Synthesis of 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.
The abbreviation GHB stands for gamma hydroxybutyrate. GHB is frequently called a "club drug." GHB is also known as the "date rape drug." A very common side effect of the drug is marked drowsiness, which may cause some users to pass out.
