title: [New Drugs: Ectasy and Gamma-Hydroxy-Butyrate (GHB)].
abstract: For several years the "raves" and "tecno" parties are accompanied of a growing consumption of such substances as Ecstasy and Gamma-Hidroxi-Butirato (GHB). In this article, their authors describe the secondary and toxic effects of those drugs. These data should alert about the risk of considering this new way of substance abuse as a banal fact.
