I see that there is some controversy over the neurotoxic effects of GHB, I am initially became interested in the substance because I heard it was so harmless so long as you don't over-dose.
What is the general opinion now a days, I've looked at a 2009 study of the effects on rats but has anything else emerged in the recent past?

Any science backing up any of this though? I know it affects GABA so it should be similar to alcohol or benzos, but could it be worse? or better?
