GHB is most commonly seen in liquid form and may be encountered in any container that will hold a liquid. The drug is typically dispensed and sold by the capful or by the sip, at prices ranging from $5 to $20 per dose. GHB is also known as Easy Lay, G, Liquid Ecstasy, Liquid X, Scoop, Grievous Bodily Harm, Georgia Home Boy, Water, Salty Water, Everclear, and Jib. It is of particular concern because it is an easy drug to make and obtain, and hard for law enforcement to recognize. GHB is generally considered a behavioral depressant, but some researchers believe it is a central nervous system excitant. In low doses, it stimulates sexual conduct and aggression. Detecting when someone has taken GHB is difficult, and responding to the growing problem of GHB and other designer drug use is a slow process. Nonetheless, GHB is changing sexual assault investigations because GHB leaves the blood in about 4 hours but remains in urine for 12 to 15 hours. Therefore, police agencies that take only blood samples from rape victims must also collect urine samples. In addition, witness statements about the behavior of victims and suspects are increasingly important. Analogs of GHB are noted, as well as differences between alcohol and GHB intoxication. 3 photographs
