A man who was stopped for speeding was arrested after three gallons of the "date-rape drug" GHB were found in his car, enough for 20,000 doses, authorities said.

Daniel Gertz, 37, of Los Angeles, was taken into custody on multiple felony charges including possession and transportation of a narcotic for sale, according to the California Highway Patrol.

GHB, which stands for gamma-hydroxybutyrate, creates a euphoric, drunken feeling in low doses and can knock people out in higher amounts.

Authorities said Gertz was transporting the drug to a party in San Francisco when he was stopped Wednesday for driving 88 mph in a 65 mph zone on Highway 101 near Geyserville, the CHP said.

I know this drug has been around a while but how common is it?

I always thought it was a pretty rare event. Maybe I was wrong.

Are there health threats from this drug other than the obvious sexual abuse the victim may be subject to?

Is this a weird lightning strike type of event or is it common?

You must be one UGLY dude to need 3 gallons of a date rape drug.

I know this drug has been around a while but how common is it?

It's commonly taken for recreational purposes in lower doses.
