A mainstream drug at clubs and raves, it goes under a variety of street names such as Liquid X, Lollipops or Easy Lay — in reference to its use as a date rape drug. Sometimes called Hillbilly Heroin, GHB is a cheap and easy compound to synthesize in home basement labs — another reason why it has gained popularity among teens and young adults. When combined with other drugs or alcohol, GHB lives up to its other nickname — "grievous bodily harm."
