>Thought GHB was not a good med . It was the one they put in peoples drinks to make them sleepy? Love Phillipa

Some people have used GHB as a 'date-rape' drug and that has been used to fuel propaganda against GHB in the USA. I think this quote from the article ralphrost posted might explain a little more:
__________________________________________________

Italians have used GHB to treat alcoholics and opiate addicts, without serious side effects. They have been using shorter time intervals than that which I recommend and big daily doses with heroin addicts with no apparent serious side-effects. This is in contradiction to what Americans have reported. So is there now an American and a European science??? Why are GHB side-effects "serious" in North-America and "negligible" in Europe (Italy)? Are these differences of opinions related to science OR culture??? My opinion is that demonisation of so-and-so is strongly entrenched in North American culture. In North America things have to be good or bad, black or white. Something cannot be good and bad at the same time, out there. This is an ayatollah way of thinking: it is cultural Inquisition. We are more realistic and pragmatic in Europe. Even water can lead to intoxication if taken in sufficient amounts.
