NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) -- A Norwalk man was sentenced to one year and one day in prison for conspiring to sell a substance commonly used as a "date rape'' drug, federal authorities said Thursday.
Donald Davis Jr., 41, was sentenced Wednesday in U.S. District Court in New Haven after pleading guilty last September to one count of conspiring to distribute gamma butyrolactone.
In May 2005, officers executed a search and arrest warrant at Davis' residence. Officers seized several firearms, firearm ammunition, narcotics paraphernalia, and significant quantities of GBL stored at the residence, authorities said.
Officers also seized Davis' personal computer. A subsequent search revealed that Davis had used the internet, including a bulletin board called "The Global Connection,'' to facilitate sales of the "date rape'' drug, authorities said.
Davis was ordered to forfeit $80,000..................................From Wikipedia --- gamma-Butyrolactone, also known as GBL, butyrolactone, 1,4-lactone, 4-butyrolactone, 4-hydroxybutyric acid lactone, and gamma-hydroxybutyric acid lactone, is a hygroscopic colorless oily liquid with a weak characteristic odor and moderate solubility in water (≥ 10 g / 100 ml). gamma-Butyrolactone is a common solvent and reagent in chemistry and is used as an aroma compound, as a stain remover, as a paint stripper, and as a gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) precursor and substitute.
Stain remover and paint stripper? Sounds wonderful...

The fact that it can be used a solvent doesn't speak to it's safety or quality as a drug. GBL is hydrolyzed to GHB in the body, which is an endogenous substance with essentially no toxicity (given the proper dosage). The "date rape drug" thing is laughable also.

date rape drug is a retardet term, no drug rapes people, people rapes other people , there is no date rape drug, only date rapist who use drugs to achive their goals. most people who use ghb and other so called "date rape drugs" ie rohypnol doesnt rape people.

Well said shriek.
Not to even mention alcohol, the drug which statistically most people are raped on.
