GHB (100mL)

Overview

GHB (gamma hydroxybutyrate) is a substance naturally present in the body in small quantities. Originally developed as an anesthetic, it is now a popular party drug known as “liquid ecstasy”, and it is occasionally used as a supplement for bodybuilding and weight loss.

When consumed, GHB can produce feelings of relaxation, euphoria, inebriation, increased sociability, and reduced inhibitions. Some users report enhanced sensory experiences and increased libido and describe it as a “cleaner” version of feeling drunk. It can also induce drowsiness and sedation, leading to its reputation as a “date rape drug” due to its ability to incapacitate individuals. In liquid form, GHB is colorless, tasteless and odorless. The effects of GHB are felt within 5 to 30 minutes and may last 1 to 6 hours.

Medical uses

In many countries, GHB is approved for treatment of sleep disorders such as narcolepsy, insomnia, or sleep quality enhancement. It is also used to manage alcohol withdrawal symptoms, and it can be used to promote muscle growth and recovery as it stimulates the release of growth hormone.

Dosage

Threshold – 0.5 – 1 mL
Light – 1 – 2 mL
Common – 3 – 5 mL
Strong – 6 – 7 mL

As GHB is a powerful substance, we strongly recommend to start low and increase slowly.

Duration

Onset – 5 – 30 mins
Peak – 1 – 2 hrs
After effects – 1 – 3 hrs
Total – 3 – 6 hrs

The exact onset and duration will vary based on individual body weight, metabolism, and existing tolerance.

Safety measures

GHB is a depressant, so it must not be mixed with other depressants such as alcohol, or psychoactive drug like benzodiazepine. As GHB is associated with inebriation, using it can also lead to impaired driving. Frequent long-term use can lead to build-up of tolerance and withdrawal symptoms once discontinued.

Overdose

Symptoms of overdose include:

• slowed or no breathing, slow heart rate
• very deep sleep, or even coma
• cold body temperature
• seizures

An overdose requires immediate medical attention. Providing or requesting emergency medical help is legally protected in Canada and provides immunity from certain offences.

Conclusion

GHB is a potent compound with strong effects. It has legitimate medical uses and is medically approved in many jurisdictions including Canada. As a party drug, it induces relaxation, euphoria, and reduces inhibitions. Users must enjoy it responsibly and follow recommended safe dosages and practice to avoid overdose or other side effects.
