Erowid states that there is disagreement among the circuit courts.
The Second Circuit is clear:
“Regardless of any other ways in which the [federal] laws governing controlled substances might be vague, there is one thing they make perfectly clear — the sale of GBL for human consumption is illegal.” United States v. Ansaldi, 372 F.3d 118 (2d Cir. 2004).
This circuit covers New York, Vermont, and Connecticut, so it might depend on where you live.
See http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/14b/14b_law.shtml for more info.
Lycaeum also has a warning:
GBL is not illegal per se, but the law makes it trivial for the DEA to investigate anyone who's ever ordered GBL and determine if they might now possess GHB. Even if they don't, owning GBL can easily be construed as intent to produce GHB, a crime fully as serious as possession. Unless you have a longstanding electronics manufacturing or pool cleaning business, ordering GBL may be just as dangerous as ordering GHB.

My colleague owns a salon and orders it all the time without incident. She uses it legitimately -- she has never done drugs to my knowledge -- and as I said, she has no trouble at all (at least not yet). What's more, she orders it from Canada!
