Several organisations have teamed up to produce harm reduction resources aimed to help address increasing use of the drug ‘G’ in Ireland.

G, also known as GHB, GBL or Liquid E, is a drug which can give a high, or if too much is consumed it can cause sedation, loss of consciousness, coma, or even death.

The initiative is in response to a number of people presenting to services for G use, with some turning up in A&E having overdosed on the drug.

The resources, which are available to download from drugs.ie/ghb, include a fact sheet, a poster, a web page and a ‘G’ card...........
