Medical experts made use of the drug GHB in the past for treating euphoria due to its sedative characteristics. It has been known to help with body building as well. However, over time, the drug has become popular in big cities for the wrong reasons. Even though it should only be available as a prescription drug, it has been available illegally through internet channels as well as in night clubs and through other drug smuggling markets and is often used by young people to enhance the party experience.
It previously had many uses in the medical field. It was used as an anesthetic in the past and remains a treatment for alcoholism and narcolepsy. Unfortunately, abuse of this drug is spreading very fast.
