Expert reviewer’s view on scheduling with rationale
Although GBL is a precursor to GHB (a schedule II (1971) controlled substance) and
almost all of its abuse and dependence potential is mediated through its metabolite
GHB, there are some concerns that make it complicated to jump to a conclusion that has
to be treated the same as GHB. Those points include:
a. GBL has a wide industrial use. Therefore, neither possible to be eliminated from the
industry nor to make it very far from being accessed by individuals trying to abuse
it.
b. Standard volume of trade consignment of the liquid substance is 20+ metric tons.
Therefore the control mechanisms will also have to follow such huge units of the
substance and hence with very low accuracy.
c. The reported incidence and prevalence of abuse is very limited in number and
geographical distribution.
d. The seizure reports for the substance do not follow the pharmacological order of
relation between GBL and GHB and therefore do not show a rise in smuggling of
GBL as a result of scheduling of GHB.
Therefore, the following recommendations are suggested:
a. GBL not to be scheduled.
b. Any decision to review GBL for scheduling be accompanied by reviewing of GHB.

Expert reviewer’s view on scheduling with rationale
Prudent consideration should be given to whether the GBL should be scheduled under
the Psychotropic Convention or controlled under the Convention against Illicit Traffic in
Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances given its extensive use as an industrial
chemical. International control based on scheduling of GBL would likely be ineffective
considering its metric tonnage of trade, and would disrupt industry dependent upon it.
