No, GHB is good for a great many things. I knew several people (before it was made illegal, and I think before "Xyrem" debuted) who became highly dependent on it, but is that any different than a lot of things we take? I will say that SWIM has, when he was younger, taken "recreational" doses of what is now known as "Xyrem", and it produces an experience very much like MDMA only with much enhanced sexuality. I can see why the DEA/FDA had their eyes on it.
I have no idea how doses of Xyrem for cataplexy compare with typical recreational GHB doses; but you're right--it's a potential miracle medicine for many things. It's too bad this culture has such a black and white view on anything with abuse potential, leaving people sick who would otherwise be healed.
