Reply to comment by IAmDavidGurney in TIL that the drug GHB occurs naturally and is produced as a result of fermentation, and is found in small quantities in some beers, wines, beef, and small citrus fruits. It is also produced in the human brain by IAmDavidGurney
The brain has nicotine receptors. https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/nicotinic-receptor#
The brain has opiate receptors. https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/pharmacology-toxicology-and-pharmaceutical-science/opiate-receptor

1,4 butanediol is not a federally controlled substance, and is not covered under the Federal Analog act. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,4-Butanediol
