Plan to ban 'date-rape' chemicals
Source: BBC News

Two chemicals which create "date-rape" drug GHB when combined would be banned across the UK under Home Office plans.

Gamma-butyrolactone and 1,4 butanediol are available in cleaning fluids and industrial solvents, but when swallowed together they turn into GHB.

Scientific advisors have suggested these were increasingly becoming "a legal substitute" for GHB and may have been used in sexual attacks.

The chemical industry will be consulted before any change to the law is made.

3. Yep
If somebody forces GHB on you there's only so many times he can fuck you before he runs out of steam.

4. Like others on this thread seem to have done...
I initially read that third sentence as 'Scientific advisors have suggested that these were increasingly becoming "a legal substitute" for GWB'!

Anyway I'm all in favour of banning them - and even more of banning GWB.
