I just went to google bulk gammahydroxybutirate/butyric acid.....there used to be some sites in India and China that had price quotes.....but they're blocked or something. Not one site comes up now. If I recall correctly, it used to be about $300 for a 55 gallon drum. Even if it had to be distilled and extracted for human consumption, there is a lot of profit being made on this Xyrem.

This is a crisis manufactured by the FDA, aided and abetted by the DEA, compounded by local police, inflamed by the media, and perpetuated by ignorance. I may sound a bit like a paranoid conspiracy theorist but there is tons of proof. GHB is not the only "substance" caught in this cycle.
Now the the FDA alone stands to make at least $15 BILLION from GHB regulation. The DEA will continually make (waste tax payers money) money investigating illegal drug activity. Don't forget the pharmacheutical companies and doctors. A suppliment safer than tylenol that was once sold at health food stores now has the same government scheduling as herion. Because of this hysteria what I could have gotten for a couple dolars a month OTC I now have to pay an outrageous price. Not only that I am forced to continually see a specialist that I have to pay (out of pocket) to keep my prescription. The only people protected through prohibition are the pharmacuetical companies.
