January 26, 2018 by Joseph Palamar, The Conversation
A highly potent drug called GHB is making a comeback in nightlife scenes, along with overdoses and even death. On Jan. 23, 2018, "Storm Chaser" star Joel Taylor died on a cruise ship. Celebrity news site TMZ reported that Taylor may have used GHB in the hours before his death.
GHB, or gamma-hydroxybutyrate, has been referred to as a "date rape drug" by the media for decades, as it has been involved in instances of sexual predators spiking unsuspecting womens' drinks to take advantage of them while unconscious. However, much of the public is unaware that most of use of this highly potent drug is actually intentional.
