"Deadly Poison Ring Busted in Manhattan: Two Men Charged with Conspiracy to Distribute Millions of Doses of GBL. In a major crackdown on illicit substances, the Department of Justice has charged two Manhattan men with conspiracy to distribute millions of doses of Gamma-Butyrolactone (GBL), a deadly chemical that has been linked to numerous overdoses and fatalities. GBL, often used as a precursor to the powerful sedative GHB, has been a growing concern in recent years due to its widespread availability and potential for abuse. As authorities continue to investigate the scope of the operation, the charges bring renewed attention to the dangers of unregulated chemical sales and the importance of combating the illicit trade in deadly substances."
