What is GHB commonly called?
1. Liquid X / Liquid Ecstasy* – Probably the most common street name, this evidently comes from raves and clubs in which GHB is prized for its disinhibiting* effects. While some may find it similar to MDMA* [68], the two drugs are chemically and neurologically completely different. 2. Cherry meth, scoop, Georgia Home Boy, soap, GBH, Grievous Bodily Harm – “Soap” is probably a reference to the taste of GHB. The latter two are evidently the product of a heretofore unobserved dyslexic prohibitionist subculture. 3. Gamma-OH, Sodium Oxybate, gamma-hydrate, Somatomax PM – Brand names from various pharmaceutical companies. Gamma-OH is used by Laboratorie Egic of France, which sells it commercially in a banana-flavored syrup. Sodium Oxybate is produced by Biocraft Labs and Sigma for relief of narcolepsy* and other sleep disorders (the only use approved in the US, and that on only a limited research basis) [51]. 4. Nature’s Quaalude* – Apparently confined to the weightlifting culture of the ear
