What the petition asks
We want GHB and GBL to be reclassified as Class A drugs, for a number of reasons: these drugs are associated with more deaths than ecstasy, GHB & GBL have been used in horrific crimes such as sexual assessment, rape and burglary, and these drug are addictive.
These drug are extremely common, and many young people take these drugs as they are easier to obtain than other higher class drugs. This has led to too many deaths and hospitalisations, and long-term harm to users.
