the herebove statement about GHB isn't really true, the only thing what is dangerous, is the combination with alcohol, you can pass out en get into coma or in some rare case die.
XTC with GHB gives a good effect, and is widely used.
In nature,GHB is present in several organs of the body
GHB is very salt,bitter. so if you mix it with drinks, you will taste it immediatly even if you are dronk.
it is only tagged as drugs for about 3 a 4 years in the netherlands.

Your wrong it is possible to die from GHB on its own. I just read somewhere from a expert on one of the boards all about it,as there were many deaths here in the states when it was used more in the 1980's. Most Drugs when you combine with others drasticly increases the risk of a overdose. Happens often here in the states with celebrities mixing,especially those pharmaceuticals. I still don't think Natalee died from a OD anyway. There would be no reason to hide the body forever if that were the case.

Overdose
Both GHB and Rohypnol present a serious overdose threat. Since they are depressants, both drugs can be fatal when mixed with alcohol. GHB is especially dangerous because its peak effect is delayed and users often take another dose thinking they haven't taken enough (and GHB can be fatal on its own). GHB is also risky because the strength can vary by batch. Symptoms of overdose can include intense drowsiness, unconsciousness, coma, muscle spasms, disorientation, vomiting, and slowed or stopped breathing. Fatalities usually occur from respiratory failure.
