Acts on two specific areas of the brain: the GABAB receptor and a specific GHB binding site (where the body s natural GHB is used). Results in sleep, comas, and even death, depending on dosages. Extremely physically addictive, repeated use can lead to withdrawallike effects. About 1% of High School seniors used GHB at least once in 2014.
11 Club Drugs Ketamine is a sedative that is used on both humans and animals. It is used as an anaesthetic, an antidepressant, and a pain medication It creates a state of dissociation with the body and environment. This makes it a very popular abused drug.
