Morphology
The components 'Georgia' + 'home' + 'boy' would most naturally suggest a person from Georgia or a local male acquaintance, not a chemical substance. As a slang name for GHB this is an idiomatic, culture-specific label with no predictable semantic connection to the constituent words, so a B1 learner who knows the parts would not infer the drug meaning.
Etymology
Georgia home boy comes from the letters 'GHB', the initials for a drug. People turned the letters into a friendly phrase that sounds like someone from Georgia or a home boy, which hid the real name and made it easy to say. So, the phrase means the drug 'GHB'.
