Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gamma-butyrolactone (GBL) is a common solvent found in many household and industrial products. In the body, it is converted by enzymes into gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB), a drug with sedative and euphoric effects. Unlike GHB, GBL is not regulated under federal law, making it a popular choice for illicit drug use.
