More Than 200 Oz. Of GHB Found In George Arkoumanis' Car
CHICAGO (CBS) ― Charges were filed against a 32-year-old Chicago man Saturday after police found more than 12 and-a-half pounds of a substance believed to be GHB, otherwise known as the "date rape" drug, during a traffic stop Friday night on the Northwest Side.
A broken headlight on a car led police to the major drug bust, as CBS 2's Mike Puccinelli reports.
It's a colorless, odorless substance known on the street as liquid ecstasy. But police know it as a date rape drug.
"It can lead to unconsciousness or a feeling of intoxication," said Tact Unit Lt. Joe Porebski of the Chicago Police Dept. "It leaves a person in a highly suggestive and vulnerable state."
Police say George Arkoumanis had more than $50,000 worth of the drug in his vehicle when he was stopped on West Foster Avenue.
"Arkoumanis was pulled over for traffic violations, but when he was searched officers say something wasn't right," Porebski said. "A quick pat down turned up a small pill bottle that was filled with a liquid -- that's not the type of substance you'd normally find in that type of a medication bottle."
Then officers searched the vehicle and found three more bottles of the liquid.
"Closer inspection of the liquid revealed it to have a tinny type of odor which in our experience is consistent with GHB," he said.
"He insisted that it was a homemade muscle builder," Porebski said. "But he said an overdose could be very lethal."
The officers found more than 200 ounces in the car. Porebski stressed that it was pretty unlikely that the bottles found in the car would have been for the man's personal use, because of the large amount.
"It's definitely not for personal consumption," Porebski said. "We believe he may have been some sort of contact or dealer, though he hasn't been forthcoming about that."
Police say more than $1,000 in cash was also discovered in the vehicle. Investigators say drug sniffing dogs hit on the money. Arkomanis was booked for possession of a controlled substance and issued traffic citations for a burned out headlight, and for operating a vehicle with a suspended registration.

I can think of another legal liquid that is capable of producing those exact same effects.

? what's with the GHB hate? Don't buy into this 'date-rape-drug' bullshit, because that's exactly what that is. GHB is verrrry seldom implicated in rape cases involving drugs. The real most common "date-rape" drug? Alcohol. GHB is IMO a very enjoyable inebriant, and relatively safe/non-toxic at the proper dose. It occurs naturally in your body and is metabolized rapidly to harmless CO2 and H2O by the pentose-phosphate pathway.

LOL alright well I received a negative rating for my comment, and I understand that I am oblivious as to the other uses of GHB.
Could somebody enlighten me?

The term "date rape drug" is appalling. It assumes that the substance itself determines the intentions and morals of the person possessing it.
