GBL – Inexperienced 1st time – Sober and Solvent!

Weight: 65-70kg
Substances consumed: None
GBL Experience: 1st Time
GBL 99.9% pure: I have my doubts based on dosage below.

Background:

Well after the usual research … I eventually got a few doses of GBL.
Spoke with a trusted friend who was all for trying it out actually she was very keen to do so, I therefore felt obliged to send the URL for the Bluelight FAQ.
Several hours later got a text which said
“Read the URL on GBL. It’s a solvent! Two chances ... none and fuck all! Good luck!”

Mmmm … apprehension again. I post for some info from the GHB newsgroup. The responses are pretty stern ... dangerous, coma, death … eek!

Like a kid with a new toy I find it difficult not to play immediately. So a night on the town getting hammered on booze or a night home alone and a dose of floor cleaner? Oh what a dilemma! Could I ever discuss this with anyone without being whisked off to a psych unit ... ?

The Experience:

21.00 I Measure 2ml of GBL (or ~ 3.2g GHB) and add to around 50ml of water. I’m being real cautious so have a quick sandwich to fill my stomach a little then write GBL 2ml on the back of my hand, take a bucket, my phone and half a pint of diluted orange juice into the living room. I keep looking at the nasty glass and it keeps looking back.

21.30 T+0 I have a real weak stomach and never could do the mindless drinking games shit. I can throw up at will. A unique talent of mine. I’m concerned about drinking this stuff but I swallow in two gulps and although it smells a tad detergent it has pretty much a neutral taste. A mild after-taste and a tiny sting on the lips. Alcohol easily tastes much worse than this. I swirl the diluted juice around my mouth several times to wash my mouth out and dilute my stomach then the taste is gone. I wonder if I’ll have paint stripper breath for the next few days though. I’d like to thank those that told me this was really nasty as it seems to have made it almost palatable for me … ;)

21.40 T+10 As crazy as this sounds I feel a little light headed. This could be the fact I’ve only eaten that one sandwich today or psychosomatic/placebo!?

21.45 T+15 Turning my head from side to side causes a slight dizziness or vertigo. My stomach is gurgling a tiny bit but there is no discomfort whatsoever. I’m feeling a little giddy and a very mild drunkenness (A quick pint on an empty stomach kinda feeling).

21.50 T+20 I have this overwhelming urge to stretch not unlike the feeling when coming up on MDMA. My initial anxiety has wandered off somewhere and doesn’t seem to want to bother me again but I feel the urge to move around.

21.55 T+25 Well after my 60 second wander around the room I now have an urge to sit on the floor so put down some cushions and park my arse. I feel energetic in a can’t be arsed moving sort of way. Heavy but light at the same time.

Chills out hoping for a more dramatic effect.

22.30 T+60 Baseline. No real discernable effects apart from the initial comments. Like having at most 2 pints in terms inebriation.

On the Drugo-meter scale this doesn’t even reach 1 out of 10.

I want to re-dose immediately due to the rather poor results but after all the stern warnings I decide to wait.

00.00 T+150 This time I decide on 2.5ml which is supposed to be equivalent to 2.5 x 1.6g or ~ 4g GHB. This will be my last dose tonight regardless.

00.10 T+160 I swig half the glass followed by half a pint of orange squash chaser and almost immediately feel this warm fuzzy feeling in my head. I think I’ve hit the sweet pot. I have an odd desire to giggle. I put some Daft Punk on and giggle. Now the warnings make perfect sense as I feel like I’ve had 6-7 beers but it doesn’t have the same head space as alcohol. So this is what binge drinking feels like. I’m pretty mashed. I then went and filled the basin to wash the dishes ... how odd!

00.15 T+165 I’m dis-orientated and mentally confused. Some slight body load with tingling in the hands and feet again not unlike MDMA and really quite enjoying the feeling. Music is sounding pretty damn good in a comical sort of way … it amuses me. I’m finding it difficult to type or walk straight.

00.25 T+175 I found myself back in the kitchen searching for dirty dishes which I clean while giggling to myself … mibbe it’s just me but I’ve never heard of Gxx causing cleaning fetish. I have the eye wiggles although similar to MDMA it’s not a rapid cycling but more like each eye is looking in different directions making it really difficult to focus.

00.30 T+180 Swallow the last of the glass. Oh boy oh boy do I feel the need for a kebab. End up making chicken breasts, waffles and Mexican salsa. Takes me about an hour to eat it but worth it. I watch the end of The Krays on TV which I find pretty emotional and fall in love with Kate Hardie.

Over the next hour or so I get a very mild headache which is almost un-noticeable and a little discomfort in my stomach. Actually the discomfort was there already following the last dose at 00.30 but didn’t stop me eating in the slightest.

Well it’s now 6am and still wide awake and I’m eating again.

Conclusion:

I will hold off any final judgment as I made this mistake with my first experiences with Ketamine thinking it was shit … oh how wrong I was ;)

I had this notion that drinking GBL would lead to that head in a vice feeling and projectile vomit but any ill effects were so mild as to be almost un-noticeable. I can understand now why it’s been called liquid E with the effects on co-ordination, eye wobbles, tingling in hands and feet and a mild euphoria. It was a very odd and mostly enjoyable high [a definite if mild dissociative effect which I enjoyed the most] and I think on the comedown from MDMA assuming I could stomach this liquid would be awesome. This certainly isn’t something I could do often as it’s basically a solvent and not the most pleasant thing to drink.

Be careful with this stuff ... the 2nd dose had it been a little higher I’m sure would have floored me! GO EASY!

Day after:

I slept for around 8 hours and felt much more rested than I would with alcohol but didn’t get a better than normal sleep of course there was no hangover at all. I did find myself being very snappy with someone who woke me from my slumber. I’m a bit snappy with alcohol especially when drunk but this was more fierce.

i find it much easier to drink gbl by adding only about 3 x as much again of some strong tasting liquid (cola / orange juice) and downing the required amount all in one go. Following with a chaser of the same strong tasting liquid only without the gbl.

I can't imagine drinking an entire glass of gbl tainted fuid. I wonder if the dilution would have altered the effects at all?

Oh dear god mix it with something that has flavour, bloody hell!! I recommend orange juice, about 250ml of it. You can't taste it at all.

Always use it on an empty stomach too, otherwise you will very much mute the effect (as you found). You'll know about it when it hits you too. When I first used GBL on an empty stomach it would hit me within 5 minutes usually, and more than once I woke up with my face in my keyboard (and the letter "k" typed about 50,000 times on screen ;)) so be careful with your dosing.
 
^^agreed. Orange juice is the way forward.

Mix 3ml gbl, or whatever your dose is, with just like 150ml of OJ, and you can bearly taste it. It just tastes like a shot of alcoholic spirit (vodkary).

^^^ LOL. Exactly what I want to avoid.

Spoke to a few people and they said 2ml in 30ml of water and chase with something nice. I forgot to get OJ so went with diluting orange but I really didn't find it that bad a taste. I'd go with MrM and get it down quick and not have to drink 150-250ml of tainted fluid.

Man,

The best way by far to dose GBL is just.. put it into capsules!!

I've done this for years i'm suprised not many people have caught on, about 1mL will fit into a 00 size cap, and you'd think it would eat through fast but it doesn't, sometimes it'll stay in there for hours actually..

Easy to dose this way also, you'll know your dose is "2 capsules" etc.
 
the bucket was a close personal friend of mine with each time i had g. the caps is a nice idea to avoid the taste

On the subject of GBL dosing; be careful!

I was advised to start low with something like 1.5ml's (which was probably a sensible suggestion) but it seems i have a low tolerance to the stuff or something because now i rarely choose to take more than 1.25mls in one go. 1.5 leaves me very dazed and 2ml is pretty much garanteed unconsciousness.

Does anyone else find gbl redosing is much nastier than dosing the first time? The only time i ever threw up taking gbl was the first time i redosed.

haha....This is a frequent occurance for me.

Falling asleep half naked with porn on repeat and about a million MSN messages asking "Hello? Are you okay?" "He's probably passed out again..."

Once my mother came into my room and couldn't wake me despite her shaking me for a couple of minutes and shouting at me...Apparently I was dribbling and had tobacco and a half rolled cigarette all over my front.

Luckily she didn't notice the syringe left on the bed side table (Of which I use to measure my GBL)!!!
 
I agree that the redoses seem to taste much worse than the initial dose. And if you've been on a long GBL experience by the time you get to the 6th redose or so it's almost impossible for me not to gag. Like MrM says I think the best thing to do is mix with a strong tasting drink and try to down it without touching the sides!
 
2ml for the first time sounds like a bit too much.
oh and be careful, this stuff can be very addictive ;)
 
Tried GBL 2ml in 100ml of pure Orange Juice and hey ... Roberts your Fathers Brother ... it's very easy to down in 2 gulps with a miniscule after taste.
Although as I said I don't find it that bad but this is way easier ;)
 
Have you tried the meathod of 2ml GBL in say 30mls orange juice and downing it in one go? I'd be interested in how you rate the two methods comparatively.
 
With G I find that it's either all or nothing. In other words, if I don't hit the dosage right (which varies with the time of day/stomach contents/other drugs/general mood), I may not feel it but the same dosage another time will leave me drooling with ultimate euphoria.

It's normal for GBL to kick in within 5 mins on an empty stomach (pretty amazing for oral dosing).

I agree with the other posters, mix with orange juice!

PS. Try it with some cannabis, the euphoria is multiplied three-fold!

I've tried 2/3ml in 30ml/50ml of water and 50ml/100ml of OJ and drinking in one or two gulps so it's in one go.
I'd rate the 50ml of OJ way the best as there is almost no taste or aftertaste even when redosing. I always chase it with diluted juice to prevent any stomach irritation.

In terms of effects in my limited trials it's the same.
