Gamma-Butyrolactone (GBL) is a chemical compound commonly used as a solvent in industrial applications, such as in cleaning products, paint removers, and as a precursor in the production of other chemicals. GBL is also known for its use as a recreational drug due to its sedative and euphoric effects, though it is illegal in many countries for this purpose due to its potential for abuse and harmful effects. It is metabolized into GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyrate), a substance associated with significant health risks.
