GBL consequences

[bcubed]

Yes, SWIM did his homework and knows that GBL, while not a controlled/scheduled substance, is an "analogue" under federal law and can only be imported in 55-gal drums or some other unusable quantity.

What SWIM's curious about is the legal consequences of getting busted with an "analogue" versus an actual drug. Say, no lye or other evidence to convert; SWIM swears up and down that he needed it to degrease a small-block chevy engine.

Incidentally, what's the legal situation of GBL in Canada and Mexico? SWIM understands (correctly) that GHB is basically odorless and--in solution--about as viscous as water. True of GBL also? Thus, wouldn't dyeing it red and putting it in a "Hawiian Punch" bottle (carbonation prevents cola) be fairly safe? (Would GBL work here or would it need to be converted to GHB first?)
