Zwei Tote in Köln durch Partydroge GBL

KÖLN -

Ein 38 Jahre alter Mann wurde tot auf seinem Sofa entdeckt. Die Polizei: Er hatte die Droge wenige Stunden zuvor genommen. Bei GBL handelt es sich um eine Substanz, die früher als Narkosemittel eingesetzt wurde. Als Droge wirkt GBL unmittelbar auf das Gehirn. Ein Experte: "Bei einer Überdosierung werden lebenswichtige Funktionen im Gehirn wie die Atmung einfach abgeschaltet." Eine Dosierung sei nahezu unmöglich. Wer sich mit GBL in einen Rausch versetzen wolle, spiele mit dem Leben.

A 42-Jaehriger died, after he the drug for one sow-hub-look for had taken. A 38 years old man was discovered dead on its sofa. The police: It had taken the drug few hours before. With GBL it concerns a substance, which was used in former times as Narkosemittel. As drug GBL affects directly the brain. An expert: "in the case of an overdosing vital functions in the brain are simply switched off like the respiration." A dosage is almost impossible. Who wants to shift with GBL into an intoxication, plays with the life. AP appeared on 7 November 2006

It sounds like a typical case of a "wonder chemical" falling into the wrong hands. Any chemical can cause death when abused or used incorrectly. Swim wonders what the national death toll is per DAY from booze? A lot more than 2 guys (.

Yes swielectro is right, the dose makes the poison ;-) but swiheftig thinks the risk is more higher for an accident when it is in "wrong hands" and for these hands is the article... Cheers
