What Is GHB? Hidden Dangers & Side Effects Explained Simply
Dr. Richard Bradlow uncovers the hidden dangers of GHB (Gamma Hydroxybutyrate)—a powerful sedative drug with a dark history and serious health risks.

The risks become far greater when GHB is mixed with alcohol or other depressants. This video also explores its role in nightlife, sexual assault, and addiction, showing why misuse can have devastating consequences.

Dr. Bradlow explains why GHB withdrawal is considered one of the deadliest in the world—often requiring ICU-level treatment—and provides important harm reduction strategies to recognize overdose symptoms and protect yourself or others.
