The Drug Enforcement Administration said, in a statement, that a narcotic substance that some promoters and addicts began circulating among them recently was called GHB or GBL, indicating that it is one of the most dangerous substances as it is a highly toxic chemical and added the consumption of 2 milligrams of the substance is sufficient to kill the person immediately.
