Misc Eating GHB powder dry

I've noticed people don't eat GHB dry but first dissolve the powder in water or other drink. Why is this and what happens if one just eats the powder dry? I've tried to search for an answer but haven't found, I suppose a little knowledge of chemistry would give me the answer but unfortunately I know very little about it.

Thanks!

I would think its mainly to make dosing easier. The line between 'high' and overdose with GHB is quite small so its easier to dissolve a known amount of powder in a know amount of liquid. For instance: 100mg of the drug in 500ml of liquid, then 5ml of liquid equals 1mg of drug.
 
Indeed that sounds plausible, however EVERY single mention of GHB powder administration that I've found includes dissolution and many guides etc. advise to dissolute the powder into water. It seems like a self-evident procedure that everyone does. Surely, I'll do it too, but since I've taken some GHB dry I'd like to know if it contributed to its effects (just a threshold 0,5g dose - no effects).
 
I probably would have but all my GHB usually came out in chunks and I never got enough of the powder to make a nice dose. Come to think of it, i'm pretty sure i've shoved GHB chunks into 000 caps before and dosed that way, it was just a bitch and broke a few before I got it to work. I never eat any chemical outright as nearly all them taste pretty shit to me and I don't want to do deal with that, personally though I could of cared less because dropping 4gs of GHB into like......damnit IDK how much liquid an Arizona ice tea is but I would always drop 'em in that and they would dissolve in a minute or two max, rarely taking more than a minute with stirring. I mean GHB isn't gross but I would always chose to take something capped rather than having to taste it, unless like in this case capping it's a real bitch and the chemical is just a weird salty textured beverage.

A lot of people complain about GHB being absurdly hygroscopic and that makes it nearly impossible to keep in dry form but I never found it to difficult honestly, but I stored it in airtight jars in the freezer and only ever removed it to weigh then dose...so dunno really!

Really though IMO its probably because most people don't like packing grams of things into gel caps as is and GHB seemed a bit finicky to work with, without the whole hygroscopic problem for me, so i'd imagine its just far easier to place the powder into a solution instead.
 
Thanks for the input. I've got a good amount of pretty dry powder, it's in a sealed plastic bag within a sealed container with a small drug desiccant thing. I suppose if I'll let it gain humidity then it'll get heavier and measuring it will become inaccurate. Why on earth is there so little info on how to use GHB properly?

It doesn't taste bad btw, totally edible. I guess I have the good stuff.

I'd still like to know though if dry vs. dissolved has any pharmacological significance, ie. does it matter for the drug effects.

I only said GHB was like drinking a weird salty tasting textured beverage, but either way I stand by my point either way. I suppose my GHB could have absorbed humidity from the atmosphere as that seems to be a problem but fuck if I ever noticed, it was only ever exposed to much air when weighing or when first made.

Either way though, why in the world would mixing into solution effect pharmacological anything? Not to sound rude but that seems to have pretty little thought behind it. I don't know of any chemical thats actual pharmacological properties get changed when mixed into a solution that won't alter the chemical itself, it may alter absorption and that but actual pharma action? Why would you think this anyways? Maybe i'm thinking about it wrong, but in my mind there simply couldn't be any significance to adding it to solution as Na GHB versus eating Na GHB as your simply ingesting GHB either way.
 
Heh you are right on that pharmacology thing, I completely agree. The only reason I asked this is the total lack of mentions about doing it dry - I figured it must have some reason behind it! But perhaps not, perhaps people just like to drink it. Either way, from now on I will drink it just to follow the fashion. Can't go wrong with that ;)

Others feel free to express your opinions too, I'd like to know if there's anything to this solution thing.
 
Why would it be any different if you eat the salt or pre-mix? It's basically the MOA.

Now other ROA's might be a tad different...
 
There is no chemical/biological reason to expect the effects to differ. The apparently universal unanimity in taking G dissolved instead of dry just overwhelms me. NO-ONE seems to do it dry. To me dissolving it into fluid seems just like one unnecessary step more, why not just take a spoonfull of the powder and swallow. However if most people find it "quite salty & unpleasant" like Bob then I guess that's the reason behind the trend.. could it be?

my only though about this is that it cant be evenly distributed thru-out the water, can it?...
 
as long as the solution is "well mixed" and not saturated (no precipitate remains) you can indeed assume that the solute is evenly distributed.

LOL Loblaw why wouldn't you just cap it or mix it? Why force yourself to taste the depravity when you could have just at least made it a bit less by drinking it? I'm guessing you must've been in a situation where you couldn't or maybe you just thought "Fuck it!" and wanted to test, but man....from tasting the drink, I know I would never want GHB on my tongue! Plus if the person messed up the pH a bit you will end up with a MF'ering burnt tongue, will not feel good man!
 
What are you lolling, the man did it and didn't like it, obviously learnt his lesson. What's wrong with that? o.0
 
I'm getting confused, either you're high or I'm low :)

Others, please share your insight on the matter if you've got such.
 
I was a senior in high school, living with my friend in his apt's extra bedroom. We were tripping acid & I was coming down, about 6am. I didn't want to risk running into his father on my way to get a glass from the kitchen, so I said fuck it, put the shit in my mouth & then got a mouthful of water from the bathroom sink.


You can buy dough, tomato paste, spices, cheese, and pepperoni, then eat it by the handful. Or you can go the extra mile and make bake the fucking pizza lol. Same logic applies.
