GBH

In the United States s ince the early 90's, GHB has been abused for its euphoric, sedative, and anabolic (body building) effects. It is a central nervous system depressant that was readily available over-the-counter in health food stores during the 1980s. It was purchased primarily by body builders to aid in fat reduction and muscle building. Street names include "liquid ecstasy" and "soap".

Coma and seizures can occur with abuse of GHB. Combining it with other drugs such as alcohol can result in nausea and breathing difficulties. GHB may also produce effects such as insomnia, anxiety, tremors, and sweating. GHB and two of its precursors, gamma butyrolactone (GBL) and 1,4 butanediol (BD) have been involved in poisonings, overdoses, date rapes, and deaths.

Rohypnol

Rohypnol belongs to a class of drugs known as benzodiazepines. Rohypnol can incapacitate its users and prevent them from resisting sexual assault. It can render those who use the drug incapable of remembering events they experienced while under the effects of the drug. Also, Rohypnol may be lethal when mixed with alcohol and/or other depressants.

Rohypnol's importation is banned in the United States. Rohypnol started appearing in the United States in the early 1990s, where it became known as "rophies," "roofies," "roach," and "rope."
