Police have seized a “significant amount” of crystallised GHB and methamphetamine after stopping a car in Launceston on Sunday night.
Officers on patrol intercepted a vehicle in Kings Meadows at about 9:15pm and searched it.
Inside, they allegedly found a large quantity of crystallised GHB, a bottle of liquid GHB and several small amounts of methamphetamine in snap-lock bags.
The driver, a 35-year-old northern Tasmanian man, was the only person in the car.
He has since been charged with trafficking in a controlled substance, along with several other drug and traffic-related offences.
The man was granted bail and is due to appear in the Launceston Magistrates Court on January 14.
