There seems to be somewhat of a wall of silence online as to anything definitive about that. I don't know if that is cos the ghb lovers are not wanting to ruin the party or what, or maybe just since it isn't a really popular substance for most due to its stigma so not going to garner much discussion, but I wanted to get confirmation on this and could find no discussions of anything definitive.
Well I looked myself at the source....gov.uk and did a search for gbl (full name) and the only mention regarding laws was one passed in the later noughties (an amendment to the misuse of drugs act) which added it there but added the clause for human consumption making it still perfectly legal for industrial use etc.
I read that the government would not want to make it totally illegal since it is heavily involved in industry for the making for plastics and other such things so it would not be feasible to force all those legit businesses to have to change up and also lose the tax they make on it. In fact those reasons are even stated in either that paper or an ACMD report advising them before it was banned- both which are on the gov website.
I don't know what clearer evidence there could be but I would just like clarification.
I can't see how this would have anything to do with the psychoactive substances bill since that one specifically stated that anything not covered by the misuse of drugs act, plus the use in industry clause mentioned already.
