AHB is also found in apples and apple juice. The unreacted monomer content of such polymers, elastomers, plastics, resins and coatings is also technically a sufficient legal basis for their illegality. The fact that GHB is found in foods that are commonly sold in Pennsylvania supermarkets and restaurants is the biggest problem with a legal strategy of equal enforcement. Criminalization of food is unconstitutional, and a violation of common law. Knowledgeable enforcement of the law in an arbitrarily selective manner could be civilly actionable.
Most states have similar laws.

Regardless of the fact that most of these chemicals produce no similar pharmacological effect as GHB, they are as technically illegal as GHB on the basis of their structural similarities. Needless to say, the California law is not being enforced. Please feel free to have it examined by an independent expert in biochemistry to establish its authenticity.
