Gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB) has been used for several purposes. Describe its recent history of various medical and recreational uses and its status as a controlled substance.
What will be an ideal response?
Gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB) was sold as a dietary supplement and used to stimulate muscle growth. In high doses, GHB has alcohol-like effects, and its recreational use led to banning it from dietary supplements in 1990. Its use as a date-rape drug led Congress to direct that GHB be placed on Schedule I in 2000. In 2002, a prescription version (Xyrem) was made available for treating narcolepsy. Xyrem is on Schedule III.
