Gamma-hydroxybutyrate or GHB (also known as "liquid X" or "g-juice") is an illegal drug that is frequently used to incapacitate victims in order to sexually abuse them. A central nervous system depressant, GHB was once sold in health food stores to bodybuilders because it was believed to help stimulate muscle growth. It was pulled off the market in 1990 because of its bad side effects.
