I just read that this is an alternative to GHB and GBL...
Has anyone had any good experiences with this?

Also, where would one find this? I don't mean stores or sources (I would never break the rules!) but I mean products...... GBL is a wheel cleaner etc.... where is 1,4-Butanediol found.

Thanks
 
i've tried it, it tastes like fucking battery acid, i recommend chasing it with a glass of milk immediately after you drink whatever amount your doing. the effects aren't really like GHB or GBL in my opinion, it kind of wakes you up, but gets you fucked up at the same time, very hard to describe. <no>
 
I'm amazed people can post something but they don't know how to google the same search term. Please, try a search, and read the rules again before you post again, as its quite clear that no sources are allowed. Try other sites, but not BL
 
I brought some online sold as 'Ink cartridge cleaner' . . it's like alcohol but your more coordinated and the euphoria is better.
 
^u really want to put ink cartidge cleaner in your body???

OP---1,4 bdo has an effect some what like GBL/GHB but is nothing like the real thing. Also, it is extremely easy to OD on. People come across it and say " oh gee man is that ghb or gbl u have there? uh yea man, its pretty much the same thing,want a cap full?" this is when the naive take the cap and blackout and or die. 14b is only suppose to be taken in doses ranging from 1.0-2.0mls. 3mls would be a very strong dose and anything for 3mls is just stupid an dangerous..

My advice, dont look for 1,4b...
 
I have recently done some testing with this, and coming from someone who has not had gbl or the holy grail GHB, I think it is euphoric at the right dose, unfortunately you have to dose it by the ml and very little can be the difference between a good time and death (or a ghb like coma). I know there is a big and dandy thread which covers all three. I feel it is important to note that 1g of ghb is roughly 1ml of 1,4-b.
As far as effects go, it is slower acting because it must pass through the liver twice making it a pro-pro drug (if that makes sense). It is euphoric once you find the right dose for yourself, so don't start big, error on the side of caution until you feel comfortable with your dose range. DO NOT REDOSE untill 2 hours to avoid taking too much because you need your liver to work its magic.
As far as sources go, I have a great one. www.nosourcesallowed.com is a great site. Also www.usegoogleidiot.com should point you in the right direction. I have said too much already, don't want another substance banned because of stupid avoidable overdoses that attract media. Do your research, and most of the info you are looking for is on this site if you search for it.
On another note, I have a chemical overview of this stuff that I am sure some people on this site would love to see, PM me if you are interested in the chemical facts (I am too lazy to scan and post this but it has a wealth of safety info)
 
since it metabolizes into GHB in vivo, wouldnt the effects be... quite similar?
 
While i agree that one must be careful in terms of dosing, i think the few comments here that state that there is a tiny difference between a recreational dose and a lethal dose, are greatly exaggerated. I agree that one should carefully dose 1,4 using an oral syringe and that one should start with a dose of around 2ml, perhaps a bit less. That said, i really do not believe that a dose of 6-7ml would be a lethal dose or one likely do result in coma. It very likely will cause dizziness and other unpleasant effects, but i think that calling this a lethal dose is an exaggeration. that said, again, i URGE anyone taking 1,4 to dose using precise measurement (oral syringe), and to definitely start with a dose of 2 ml or less.

Now, regarding the effects of 1,4. While it is true that 1,4 is converted to GHB, by no means are its effects identical to GHB or GBL. Most people, including me, find that 1,4 is a much "dirtier" and "more toxic" feeling experience then that of GHB or GBL. The reason for these differences in effect, i believe are due to the fact that while 1,4 is indeed converted to GHB, 1,4 has psychoactive effects of its own. So even though 1,4 is converted to GHB, its effects are by no means identical, due to the fact that it produces its own effects when ingested.
I find that 1,4 tends to upset my stomach, and is far more likely to cause dizziness and nausea. I really find it to be a poor substitute for either GHB or GBL, which tend to feel much "cleaner" and cause fewer side-effects.
That said, it is of course, similar in its effects to both GHB and GBL, but IMO, less euphoric and considerably "nastier"- if that makes any sense.

1,4-butanediol is a prodrug for GHB just like GBL. It may or may not be a CNS depressant on its own, but almost all of its effects come from it metabolizing quickly to GHB. It is "the real thing".

The dosage is also not remarkably different. Between 20% and 40% stronger than GBL by volume perhaps?

I find 1,4-butanediol to be as clean and side-effect free as GHB. Are you sure you aren't drinking a nasty impurity along with your BDO?

am i SURE?? well i dont believe anyone can be 100% sure when it comes to stuff like this, but what i had was labled 99.8% pure BDO. I therefore am quite confident that impurities did not account for the side effects i mentioned.

what makes u so certain that BDO is not psychoactive in its own right, and that its effects are totally or almost totally due to its conversion to GHB. ive found many many reports on BDO which mirror mine. If u do a search, i think u will find that most people find BDO to be an inferior product to GHB, and more likely to cause unwanted side effects.
 
Even though its rapidly converted to GHB, that is not to say that for the 5-10 minutes before it is it is not causing some stomach discomfort and other not so great effects. I don't get much nausea at all from GBL unless, well I've never had it, but I could see it happening mixed with Alcohol...That would also be taking a big OD risk as well though...
 
I have been through almost 4 oz. of this substance (in fact, I'm on it right now), and I have to say I am very happy with it for the most part. Nausea is one very real problem though. Anything above 4ml is very dizzying for me and is certainly not desirable unless I'm looking to knock myself out. I seem to sleep for ~4 hours every time I dose and then go to sleep. I have noticed and increased appetite (a desirable effect for myself) and an overall better mood throughout my trial of 14b. I certainly prefer NaGHB due to less side effects and a stronger euphoria, but I try to stay away from illegal subtances as much as possible. I will never dose above 4.5ml. 3ml is my usual dose. 14b definitely demands respect, never eyeball this stuff, people have died that way. Side effects increase with dosage, .5ml can make a big difference.
 
Just get an oral syringe from your local pharmacy for easy dosing using milliliters. The oral syringes are usually 5ml.
 
Thats exactly what I use, it works great. Also remember to never take this stuff without diluting it in water, it is a solvent. You will barely notice the taste of 2ml in 8 oz of water.
 
yeah, wow. i forgot about the place that sells this. i'm thinking of ordering some since it's so cheap. after reading things. it seems like for a first time while being really careful one should not go above 2ml. maybe not even 1.5ml depending on body weight. i'm interested in it for the euphoria. hopefully it'll be very euphoric.

You will probably be disappointed if you are looking for strong euphoria, it's actually rather mild in that aspect. Increasing the dosage to try and make it more pronounced will only lead to more nausea or you waking up in the floor wondering what happened the past 4 hours. I guess I just want you to know there isn't much euphoria to be had from this stuff, so don't chase it and hurt yourselves! The anti-anxiety and relaxant effects of this stuff are great though.
 
I would like to know if anyone has any comments on things to take while on 1,4 butanediol to help with the stomach discomfort that most seem to say they get when taking this substance?
