Gamma-Hydroxybutyric Acid and Related Substances (Fantasy): EACD Advice to the Minister
Date of publication: Dec 2001
This paper considers gamma-hydroxybutyric acid ('GHB') and three GHB-related substances:
1,4-Butanediol ('1,4-B')
Gamma butyrolactone ('GBL')
Gamma-aminobutyric acid ('GABA').
Such substances are commonly called 'Fantasy' and all have related 'class' effects.
These substances are not controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1975 (the Act). After considering the available evidence, the EACD recommends that these drugs should be classified in Part 1 of the Second Schedule of the Act (ie, B1).
