Sedative; makes you extremely tired and apathetic, and can make you pass out/black out altogether.
“Date rape
The drug has been identified as a date rape drug,[6] much the same way as alcohol and potent benzodiazepines, often known colloquially as “Rohypnol”, the trade name of a potent hypnotic benzodiazepine, flunitrazepam. It has a salty taste but, as it is colourless and odorless,[34] it has been described as “very easy to add to drinks”[34] that mask the flavor. GHB has been used in cases of drug-related sexual assault, usually when the victim is vulnerable due to intoxication with a sedative, generally alcohol.[36] However it is difficult to establish how often GHB is used to facilitate rape as it is difficult to detect in a urine sample after a day, and many victims may not recall the rape until some time after this.[37][38] However cases of GHB being used as a date rape drug are quite rare.[citation needed]
GHB, produced as a sodium salt (sodium oxybate), may provide a noticeable salty character to the drink, although individual sensitivity to the taste of salt varies.[39] GHB can also be produced as different salts, some of which may not have a taste as distinctive as the sodium salt (e.g., magnesium oxybate), or much less commonly in the unstable free-acid form.[40]”
