GBL in South Africa: not individually verified
Also known as: blue nitro
We have not confirmed that GBL specifically is scheduled in South Africa, so this page gives no legal status. Publishing a guess here would be worse than publishing nothing. What we do know is the governing national drug law, below.
- What is on record
- Not confirmed. This substance is not printed in Schedule 1 or Schedule 2 of the Drugs and Drug Trafficking Act 140 of 1992, and the question it raises is an ester question rather than a homologue question.
Confirm directly with South Africa’s national drug authority or your own embassy before you rely on anything.
