What is “Liquid Ecstasy”?
“Liquid Ecstasy” is the street name for the liquid form of the drug GHB. GHB or gamma-hydroxybutyrate is produced naturally in the human body, but in very small amounts. When taken as a recreational drug, and especially with alcohol or other drugs, GHB can be extremely dangerous. GHB is a central nervous system depressant. That means it makes you sleepy and slows down your breathing and heart rate. In its liquid form, GHB looks like water. It has no smell and is tasteless or has a slightly salty or solvent taste that can be easily masked. It is usually sold in small vials, but is also available as a white powder or capsule.
