It's still available in liquid form on the black market. The most dangerous part of GHB these days is the difference in potencies. It can easily be cut with water-so you either get ripped off or inadvertently take too large of a dose. I heard there's some nasty federal charge for possession in the USA-like mandatory 10 yrs in prison or something? Anyway, I don't think it's all that great when you consider the risks involved using it. I used to fall asleep standing up on it. I know many that end up in the hospital from it. An experienced, responsible, recreational drug user(if there's such a thing?) will do better with GHB than your avg joe. It's not something for the light partier to mess with. The GH releasing properties aren't anything special imnsho. I prefer cannabis as a sleep aid any day. For date rape, Rohypnol reigns supreme. lol
