GHV & GVL Vault
(related to GHB a more common chemical)

---

Please read about GHB and its risks, dangers, and effects. There is very little known about GHV or GVL as a psychoactive. It is likely to share some effects with GHB, but little is known about it.

Dose: Dosage is not yet known, but GHV may be more sedating than GHB by weight.
Effects: The only report we've seen of its use so far describes it as less-fun and more sedating than GHB.
Misc: GVL is on FDA's Generally Recognized as Safe (for foods) list entry:
From the FDA's EAFUS List October 2001: Everything Added to Food in the United States list.

Sigma-Aldrich sells GVL that comes with a kosher certificate for inclusion of GVL in kosher foods or products: Sigma-Aldrich Kosher Certificates
