Thursday March 4, 2004 1:00 - 2:00 PM ET
A FREE Public Domain Teleconference!

1. Program Description and Objectives:

This hour-long training telecast will explore the illicit world of GHB
(Gamma-hydroxybutyrate) drug trafficking, use and abuse.

GHB is classified as a sedative-hypnotic and/or a central nervous system
depressant. Itproduces euphoria, intoxication and hallucinations with
alcohol like effects. Because it produces such a rapid progression from
drowsiness to sleep, it is often used as a "date-rape" drug.

Instructors on this telecast will be Drug Enforcement Agency Special Agent
Scott Albrecht of the Tampa District Office and retired Los Angeles Police
Department (LAPD) Narcotics Detective Trinka Porrata who founded Project
GHB.

Scott Albrecht will focus on GHB trafficking, "date-rape" case studies, and
GHB on the Internet. Trinka Porrata will focus on use, abuse, addiction and
the pharmacological effects of the drug and what law enforcement officers
need to know to recognize the indicators that a suspect is high on GHB.

In addition, we will also include a segment on Rave and Club Drugs -
particularly Ecstasy -- how to recognize the indicators and hear one
mother's story of how an experiment with Ecstasy cost her high school son
his life.
