It will also cover the use, abuse, addiction and the pharmacological effects of the drug and what law enforcement officers need to know to recognize the indicators that a suspect is high on GHB. The program will also include a segment on Rave and Club Drugs — particularly Ecstasy — how to recognize the indicators and hear one mother’s story of how an experiment with Ecstasy cost her high school son his life.
