Yes, people can and do recreationally take GHB quite often. (also commonly used in date rape cases) The same can be said for MDMA, and others

A rapist may serve as little as 50% of their sentence due to this fact. It was only this year (2025) that rape of an unconscious person who was made unconscious by the assailant (a date rape drug provision like Germany's) became a violent felony.

So if they're unconscious for some other reason - or the assailant wasn't the one who drugged them - it's not a felony?
Sometimes I'm still surprised at how politicians can defend certain positions.
