New York Liquid Ecstasy

Club drugs are an increasing problem throughout the New York area and law enforcement agencies are working to decrease the use of these tablets, liquid and powder drugs. One of the more popular club drugs is Liquid Ecstasy. This drug is a psychedelic and stimulant drug, which some people use to stay active for a long time. According to our New York Liquid Ecstasy Lawyer staff, Liquid Ecstasy can also cause drug users a boost in their confidence and provide a type of euphoria feeling.

The increase in usage of Liquid Ecstasy within raves, dance clubs and party scenes has led to an increase in reports of abuse in New York. There are many factors contributing to the increase in usage but mainly the increase is due to how the drugs can be easy to conceal, as the drugs are often odorless, tasteless and can be readily dissolved. Our New York Liquid Ecstasy Lawyer group has learned that Liquid Ecstasy or GHB was first abused by body builders, who used the drug to increase muscle tone and growth. This drug is also often used in cases of date rape and other sexual assault cases and therefore the drug earned the name of a date rape drug. When Liquid Ecstasy is mixed with alcohol, it can provide a sedation effect and result in intoxication, loss of coordination and consciousness and amnesia. The drug can produce a range of effects, usually dependent on the amount of the dose. The drug is extremely dangerous, at higher dosages Liquid Ecstasy can result in coma and even death.

Liquid Ecstasy is also referred to as scoop, G, GHB, Liquid X or somatomax. If you are caught in possession of this drug, contact our New York Liquid Ecstasy team as soon as possible.

The increase of Liquid Ecstasy usage, as well as the increase in other sedative-hypnotic drugs, led Congress to approve the "Drug-Induced Rape Prevention and Punishment Act of 1996" in 1996. In an effort to help reduce sexual assault cases, this Act provided federal agencies with the ability to increase criminal charges associated with these drugs. Liquid Ecstasy or GHB is a Schedule I and a Schedule III drug. Under Schedule I, the drug is defined as having no medical use and a high potential for abuse. Under Schedule III, the drug is defined as having accepted medical use and a low potential for abuse. According to our New York Liquid Ecstasy Lawyer, the Schedule III definition is due to the new drug application of a company, who was producing the drug to treat sleep disorders. Possession of this controlled substance and possession with the intent to distribute can result in up to twenty years in prison.
