GBL is often used by predators, authorities say, as part of a date rape drug. It's also commonly used by bodybuilders to increase growth hormones. According to the DEA, GBL is a chemical analog of gamma-hydroxybutyric acid , a highly addictive central nervous system depressant that can potentially cause respiratory distress, comas, or death."Customs and Border Protection will continue to use our border security authority to search suspect international parcels and intercept dangerous products that could seriously harm American citizens," said Rene Ortega, the acting area port director for CBP's Area Port of Philadelphia.
