GBL (Gamma Butyrolactone)
GBL is a chemical used in many industrial cleaners, and is the precursor chemical for the manufacture of GHB. Several Internet businesses offer kits that contain GBL and the proper amount of sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, along with litmus paper and directions for the manufacture of GHB. The process is quite simple, and does not require complex laboratory equipment. The kits sell from $48 to $200. As with GHB, GBL can be added to water and is nearly undetectable. In addition to its industrial applications, GBL has been marketed as a health supplement. The products that contained GBL, such as Longevity, Revivarant, G.H. Revitalizer, Gamma G, Blue Nitro, Insom-X, Remforce, Firewater, and Invigorate, have been removed from the market. However, many of the products were reintroducedunder new names, utilizing 1,4 butanediol 🇧🇩 as a replacement for GBL. BD is synthesizedby the body to produce GHB. GBL also is synthesized by the body to produce GHB. As a consequence, some partygoers drink small quantities of GBL straight. This often causes a severe physical reaction, usually through the violent regurgitation of the fluid. These chemicals increase the effects of alcohol, and can cause respiratory distress, seizures, coma, and death. GBL became a List I chemical on February 18, 2000. BD is not scheduled under Federal guidelines. Blue Nitro and Renewtrient, liquid and pill form, have been removed from the market.
