Calling it illicit is not neutral. Is it illegal? No. Do you call alcohol an illicit drug? No.

In some states in the US, possession of 1,4-butanediol is a felony. But you're right, in a sense, because simply calling it illicit is imprecise. The article should specify where it is illegal. Edgar181 18:00, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reliable sources

I'm having a bit of concern about references such as http://leda.lycaeum.org/?ID=15209 http://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=13226 with regard to WP:RS. Should such references be removed? --Rifleman 82 03:39, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

leda.lycaeum.org gives me server errors, so I can't tell. The other one is certainly not a good example of a reliable source, according to Wikipedia policies. --Itub 08:30, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
