So what exactly is Gamma Hydroxybutyrate (GHB)? It’s a naturally-occurring metabolite of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA, and is present in small amounts in almost all animals.  (Sounds innocuous so far…)  But, it has acquired an infamous reputation over the years, and is now a highly controlled substance in most countries.  In Episode #90, Jesse takes a deep dive with Dan Pardi into the world of GHB - its development, its promise as both a sleep aid and a physical-health supplement, and its misuse potential and the subsequent ban.
