Project GHB
This began as a family's story of the loss of her son to GHB. Eventually they developed a nonprofit organization in the UK. Their mission is to help parents, teachers, friends & other loved ones recognize use of these drugs (in addition to GHB, they cover ecstasy, ketamine, xyrem, prescription & OTC drugs). The site is thorough and yet understandable with a very personal touch/focus.
